About this game

My deepest apologies, Game Delayed.
It is my deepest regret to announce that I've decided to delay the game's release. Being as this is my first game, I grossly underestimated the amount of time needed to deliver a finished and complete project. And instead of releasing an unfinished game, I'd rather delay the game and get it right and release a fully formed finished product. Please forgive me, but I feel this is the only way forward. This game matters to me and I want to make it the best I can possibly make it. Thank you for your time and support.McKenzie Raven.Read full article on Community Announcements (M.Raven)AnnouncementsOfficial
