The team worked incredibly hard on this and unveiling it at the @LAGShowcase - @thegameawards Edition was such a blessing. Putting together all the sound for this was a huge task but so proud of what we ended up creating!
We just released our new trailer formally announcing our Kickstarter during Spring. Hope you like it!
