Hello everyone,

We're happy to announce that as part of the Top Hat Studios Showcase, we've debuted a brand new trailer - actually, our first ever! We know the game has been in development quite awhile, but we're happy to say that the game is making very solid progress. Since we first launched our Steam page, a lot has changed, and we think this trailer best encapsulates this. We know we have been silent for quite awhile, but we will have more news soon and are looking forward to sharing developments with everyone. Thank you for the support!
