- Plot Twist: Better Direction - 25 July 2026
We've pulled the demo offline, and here's why: bugs aside, we've taken the game in a direction that's way better than what we had. The old demo doesn't represent where we're headed anymore, so instead of keeping it around, we're starting fresh.The dev grind continues. We're actively building, refining, and bringing this inspired new direction to life. You'll see a revamped page coming soon!Big thanks to everyone who played and gave us feedback. You helped us see what was working and what wasn't, and that shaped where we're taking this next. Stick around, better things are coming!
