Welcome back, Employee 627!
First of all I want to apologize for the long period of silence regarding development updates.
Over the past Year, I’ve been dealing with a lot of personal stress while also working full-time to keep me afloat, which has made it difficult to dedicate as much time and energy to development as I would like.
That said, development on the game is still active, even if the Steam page said "no updates for over 12 months". A large portion of the current workload involves animations and sound design, both of which are incredibly time-consuming for me and have slowed progress more than expected.
Now for the fun part, I'm happy to announce to you version 0.2!
