Mirren visits the tiny village of Ardmoor many times throughout her journey, and her growing relationships with the townsfolk (like Finn the Innkeeper here) are a big part of the game!

Because Sunsgrove Studios is a fully remote team, we don't have a conventional studio space like other developers.
In actuality, our always-on Discord server serves that purpose, allowing for all the interactions you'd expect from any game development team!
