    "Irriational" Becomes Free on March 1st, 2026.

    On March 1, 2026, "Irrational" will transition from a paid title to permanently free-to-play."Irrational" was designed as a short, intimate experience. By making it free, I hope to remove any barrier for players curious about the general style of my games, offering a non-committal way to see if my games may resonate with players. Rather than charging a $3 for a project that I just wanted to share with people, it eventually made more sense to me to make it free.A huge and sincere thank you to every single person who has already purchased and supported "Irrational." It truly did help both to support and motivate me moving forward. I appreciate you all.— M.A. Starling
