I self-published Without a Dawn in May. I made zero compromises, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... πŸ’›πŸ’š
Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩

Oh, thank you so much! And yes, I love Afterdream, but it's killing me that it's performing so poorly. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Thank you for your support! ☺️

Agreed! 😁

I re-made it to fit the style of my game for "marketing" purposes. πŸ˜„ It's not real Steam page but a video. πŸ‘

Oh whoa! Thank you so much, I hope you'll enjoy it! I'd recommend late evening/night, when it's dark, with headphones on. 😁

Horror fans! There's a game called Without a Dawn, which I released last May, that I 100% believe deserves more attention. It's a small, unique, thought-provoking experience made with love and hard work: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Thanks for checking it out! πŸ’š
