We were blessed to have a Daily Deal for Death and Taxes this January.
I'm speechless. After some very rough times this was by far the best sale we've ever had, surpassing our last Daily Deal together our last remaining Steam Visibility Boost.
This will keep our studio running the next few months🥰

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.
On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.
