It's been a tough year for everyone. I started developing this game around March when Australia was entering various states of Lockdown due to the virus. This game, although it's dealing with a relatively serious matter, is intended to serve as a small dose of some dark-humor during these dark-times.
Thank you for the support and let's get through this mess together.
Good luck in Lockdown City, everyone!
Stay safe.
