Repeated intro

Hey, guys! So happy to be sharing the first VINDICTA update since its Early Access Launch! This update includes a host of new content, bug fixes and some fine-tuning in between! It also includes a drop in price to $14.99. When we initially priced VINDICTA at Early Access, we did so with the final full version in mind which included an Oculus version, more levels, multiplayer, co-op, more weapons, enemies, puzzles and more polish among other things. We wanted to launch it in Early Access so that we may build it alongside the VR community – however, that kind of accessibility proved to be a challenge at the price point we had set. After some back and forth with the team and many of you early VINDICTA supporters, we have decided to drop the price for now. VINDICTA will go into full release once it has lived up to both players’ expectations and ours, at which point we will re-evaluate the price to reflect the full VINDICTA launch. We cannot thank you enough for all the support you have shown VINDICTA so far and cannot wait to hear what you think of our latest update! Here is a quick list of what you can expect in this new version! - Optimized performance/Bug Fixes
