The full release should be coming late fall of this year as a free download on steam. I hope you enjoy and please if you have any feedback about your gameplay experience, good or bad, please let me know via the discord and Itch.io comments.
The earlier mentioned 1.6 update is in the works, don't worry. Coming with new scenes, quality of life improvements, and fixes to the bugs with regards to achievements. So sorry it's taken me so long, keep an eye out for that over the next few weeks.
