Thanks everyone who downloaded our game on day 1 - that was an incredible feeling being able to finally release this game to the world! We really appreciate all the feedback, bug reports, and reviews weve been receiving. We wanted to give you an update on what were doing next to address all this awesome feedback:

• Bug fixing - If you find anything wonky, please post it on the steam forums, or email support@sadpandastudios.com Were trying to prioritize the bigger bugs first and have already deployed a few new builds to fix up some things players have reported to us. Youre awesome!
• Improve U/X - There are some areas that still need cleaning up with the UI, UX, and userflow so well be looking at those after the bug fixes. Many players have given some great suggestions for things we can do to improve these items. Like for example, did you know you could click the phone messages to have them appear faster? Yeah! (that should probably be explained somewhere in the UIlol)
• Balance - Some feedback has highlighted the games difficulty, so we are working to soften some of the balance. As a sidenote, we can track which endings players are running into the most and it seems to be Cassies Pizza death, so well start by making her route less punishing! Were also wanting to add some stats to the end screens showing what % of players have run into the same bad end.
• Polish - Since launch, weve already made improvements to how the assets are streamed into the game, so the filesize is lighter and load time goes quick! We've still got a few art polish tasks we need to fix up, so you might notice some visual improvements in future builds.
• Audio - There are a few audio files that arent playing so well track down whats going on with those, and will adjust the filter on the ones players report as sounding too quiet/too loud.
