In just one week, Bounty Inc. will be released to the world, and you can preorder it right now so you have it in time!

Do you like the found family/ensemble of Guardians of the Galaxy? The universe of Mass Effect? The absurd humor of One Piece? This is soup of all that and more!

Are things good right now? No. But are there signs of better days ahead? Also no. Still, we know that it's all going to hold together one way or another, that we'll emerge from this better than we were, right? Yeah, no, probably not.

And by the time you're finished with Bounty Inc, you'll think about camping out in his backyard until he gives you the sequel. (If only I knew where that backyard was...)

If you're an @adamholcombe.bountyink.com fan already, you'll be a burger one by the time you're 20% through Bounty Inc (if not sooner). If you've yet to make his acquaintance, you'll become a fan by the time you're 20% through Bounty Inc (if not sooner).
