Many thanks to all the wanderers who took the time to leave one on Steam, this is the best help for indie games like ours 🖤

"There’s nothing more relaxing after a long day than wandering through an infinite, sterile, and liminal labyrinth and giving yourself a metaphysical breakthrough of cosmic dread"
