I had the honor of retelling the story of this studio in a recent BTL episode. Their dedication to unique, introspective storytelling is unmatched. I hope you all give this game a try!
"Your Very Last Words" is out now on Steam! Face a firing squad as you're given 10 minutes to think on the statement that will define your legacy. #indiegame #indiegamedev
