Hey everyone! Sorry for the wait, but Version 1.0 is finally here!

It’s also available on Steam if you want like, 4 achievements and a playtime tracker, but the Itch.io version will be consistently updated as well.

To celebrate the final version and Steam release, We now have an Artbook & Soundtrack! It doesn’t have a whole lot of content, but it gives you a little behind the scenes on our development, and you can jam out to the in-game tunes as well!

The Steam version lists the Artbook & Soundtrack as paid DLC, but if you wish, you can download/purchase it here on Itch too!
