Santa Ragione are a well-known studio, covered by a great many mainstream outlets. Their latest game will not be releasing on Steam for... reasons? Steam won't tell them why, won't tell them what needs fixing, and won't communicate in general.

Anyone got some available cash, my friend Chris is going through a family situation and needs support to help keep his dad safe.
Updates:
- Does anyone know why Tyvek suits seem to be sold out across Toronto?
- I’m going through cleaning supplies faster than ever before. I basically have to pick up about $10-20 of stuff every time I go.

Today is the day to tell a strange story.
The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.
Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.
