Coming Soon

What's going on?

Originally, we planned to release the game in December of 2023, but this was changed because life happens and personal matters took us away from working on the game. By God's grace, it was a minor speed bump and we are now back to full-time development. We're aiming for a release in early March of 2024.

So what now?

Don't fret, we won't leave you empty handed! You can expect a new demo to release this coming Friday, January 5th 2024. The upcoming demo will have a re-designed beach region, new characters, and other new surprises, so keep an eye out! We are also working with valve to make the game be available for early access and will let you know when valve allows us to do so. Thank you for wishlisting the game, playing the demo, and for looking forward to when the game releases. We are working very hard to make this game a fun and enjoyable experience, and we appreciate your patience.
