| PMCW Intelligence Document No. 010178. Codename: Vorax | 2022-08-14 | PMCW Intelligence Document No. 010178. Information in our possession is conflicting, but it seems that the infection has spread very quickly within a few days, perhaps even in a few hours. It seems that in the hours immediately following the outbreak of the infection, 43rd NATO airborne battalion was sent to the island but all contacts were lost after only 8 hours. PMCW considers this matter with the utmost importance. Objectives of team W1 are: Locate the biolab Take in vitro samples of the pathogen (codename: "Vorax") Liquidate surviving medical personnel (optionally) and any witnesses. In NO case must the presence of the PMCW be revealed. |

| About darkness and loneliness.. | 2020-03-26 | Abandonment. Loneliness. Emotional states that make you uncomfortable but at the same time… fascinating ones. After all, when you are alone you understand yourself better. These days of forced isolation have led me to think about loneliness and in general on solo experiences. If you would like to know more about this, you may check my post on indiegala blog. Oh, and an upcoming update with new languages, fixes and an engine upgrade is coming for Die Young soon. Best! |

Part of the team, as mentioned, is working on DY PS4 port and on an upcoming update for PC ( more news on this coming soon ), while others are working on a new project, an idea we’ve been sleeping on for quite a while and which is set in the same narrative universe as dieyoung... several months after |
