Hhhmmmm, now I'm taking a 2nd look at that podcast where you guys were talking about early access.... Made sure I read the e-mail before seeing things online. Instant Wishlist.

A game where the UK is ruled by some kind of parasitic overlord class who sustain themselves by bleeding dry their subjects... also they're vampires

minimalist immersive sim is a real tightrope. how are you signaling interactable objects without the visual density most immersive sims use as the cue?

This looks cool as hell! This type of gameplay is going to take me a bit to figure out cognitively but I'm very interested in playing this. Also thank you for making a large UI interface! This will make it so much easier for me to see!

Please tell me there is a little vampire digital pet keychain somewhere in the game. I would also like if the music was playing on a portable CD player that skips when you run.

Awesome, I've enjoyed everyone of your games so far, and not just because the thesis 'The UK fucking sucks' speaks to me on a personal level. Obviously way too early to be thinking about ports but if this ever migrates to Switch 2 I hope it comes with Mouse controls.

Hahahaha. I appreciate it! After reload I smiled and actually said, out loud to myself, "that's good". Oh and the game looks great, too, by the way! Should throw that out there, too. But the text in the trailer, Mike!! Well done.

We hope for "eventually" then. I get it, Steam-first makes sense and releasing something I stressful enough. But there is a sizable and paying audience of collectors, whales and gamers who want to BUY and OWN, not rent games. Dont skip out on us.

With Valve continuing to be abusive trash and refusing me access to my game library (before anyone asks, no I'm not banned), I'm going to wait until there's an option to buy the game where I actually get to play it after doing so. Looks great, but I hope it doesn't stay exclusive to Steam on PC.
