  • According to Gregorcic, the game’s writer, the idea for the game was conceived in 2009, but the launch was not realised until this month, following 11 years of sporadic development and self-funding.

  • Gregorcic described the game as a “passion project” with high production values and highlighted the title’s 10,000 lines of recorded dialogue, high-resolution hand-drawn artwork and original soundtrack.
  • The game is available for download from Steam for $17.99/£15.99 and will include text translations in several different languages.
