We were blessed to have a Daily Deal for Death and Taxes this January. I'm speechless. After some very rough times this was by far the best sale we've ever had, surpassing our last Daily Deal together our last remaining Steam Visibility Boost. This will keep our studio running the next few months🥰

Longdue stating that "founded by contributors of Disco Elysium" is a perfect sentence. It's legally correct and it creates the illusion of continuity. Their single disco writer left and was sued to not work. Longdue is able to show off a single contributor with a name. I don't know that name. 1/3

If you like the game, please buy and leave a review! It would help us out a lot!😍
