Development Update
Hi everyone! I just wanted to give a quick update to say that the game has finished development! Well... almost. The game itself is finished in the sense that it is playable from start to finish, but I still need to add Steam Achievements and finish localization. Which means the game will likely launch in January! (Official release date still to be announced). That's all for now, but stay tuned for more updates in the near future.Read full article on Community Announcements (Crimson Sequence)
