Hello lunar2019wavingpig
As some of you here probably know, I've been working on a new game called The Treehouse Man for the past ~16 months. Just now that project reached its biggest milestone, as it was finally released to the public! Genre-wise The Treehouse Man differs from my previous work quite drastically, but the art style, atmosphere and storytelling will feel immediately familiar to anyone who enjoyed Gloom. Personally I think that I've grown quite a lot between these two projects, and I hope it shows in The Treehouse Man.
I really hope that you give The Treehouse Man a shot! I'll be very active in the community hub to address all feedback during these first couple of weeks. lunar2019smilingpig
