Hi all!
First of all, we want to say a huge thank you for such a great launch weekend for Starless Abyss!
We've had thousands of you smashing through the Abyss, and it's been amazing seeing how much you've all been enjoying it! We've been keeping an eye out on all the discussion too, so we're on top of anything that might need looking at!
If you haven't already, leaving a Steam review would be truly helpful for us! Reviews help out tiny teams like us a lot, so if you have been enjoying Starless Abyss, we'd love to hear about it! You can also still grab it with the launch discount if you haven't already!
