What's new:
-keybind remapping for keyboard

So far, players had to learn about unblockable attacks the hard way, but this update will make them easy to spot.
Players use to and preferable to keyboard play will be able to customize controls to their liking!

- based on feedback we've added an additional autosave to the "martial law" chapter to break up the intensity and allow an improved starting point for a tough boss

[ 2018-10-15 20:46:41 CET ] [ Original post ] DON’T GIVE UP is the comedic story of Tris, a cynical asocial game developer living in the town of Threeson who’s more concerned with flirting than figuring out where he’s next meal is coming from. You'll balance the hilarious tragedy that is your social life while facing off with the phantoms of your inner conscious and a mysterious cast of characters.
This game takes place 4 years after the events of Tris’s mental breakdown as his inner demons seek once again to consume his mind and unleash a plague of apathy and despair.
