Worth noting we're about 25 reviews away from reaching 1,000 Steam reviews for Loco Motive. Every little bit helps! 👀
Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales
