Don't bother buying this. It'd be a waste of money. The original developer company went bankrupt in June or may, maybe earlier and didn't decide to say anything on steam until September 12th. So don't bother expecting a third act or coherent continuation if by the miracle chance it will be continued. 22.03.2026 Edit: It's been three and a half years since the last actual update with patch notes. As I said, nothing…

Unfinished game with no updates since the summer. :( Developers have said it is "on hold" until they can get more funding despite successful Kickstarter. Disregard the Early Access info as it hasn't been accurate\updated for over a year. I hope the developers pick this up again so everyone can get what they paid for.
