Content notice: Game, overal, promotes cartoon violence and elements of distopian, apocalyptic fantasy themes. While most of this is virtual aesthetics and is focused on highlighting anthics and self-empowerment, it is intended to encapsulate these values over actual depictions of violence.

On the Upcoming Release
As we're approaching closer to release, which I hope will be in early 2025; I would like to thank the several testers who helped through development, and should put it out there that the test keys will have granted the full title as the test has come to an end. In other news, CBS: the beginning will have new extra content already planned right before the first major patch. This includes game soundtrack and a dlc with level advancement and further story as part of the full game, which can be described as an expansion pack. Again thank you to those who have helped and endured with especially me through the past several years, in making of the whole series to reach a conclusion.Read full article on Community Announcements (Mr. Light-Weight)AnnouncementsOfficial
Game Reveal, News!
Good day, everyone, as we reveal CBS: the Beginning this week, I have a few words to say on the matter. While it's been a difficult process to advance in development and design, this was a very difficult task to put in action on my own. Yet I feel delighted to be in final design and polish steps of my very own video game. You as the audience should at least note the difference as you play through the story itself. As the release is close, I also want to start a giveaway soon, for a short test phase before release, possibly on indiedb. We can interact and have feedback if any in a small test group.Read full article on Community Announcements (fGray)
