| Check out the game prototype! | 2023-10-07 | Hello everyone! If you are interested in the project, you can check out the playable prototype on Itch! The prototype can be played in a browser, but we recommend to download the Windows build for better graphics and performance! Also: please only playtest on Desktop. The browser version "works" on mobile (depending on your browser and OS), but it's not designed for mobile devices. After the PC Steam release a mobile port will be considered, but for now it's a desktop only game. -> Itch Prototype Link |
