Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Do I (or do you?) know anybody who does commissioned digital art, is available, and can (with urgency) create an incredible, soft, ephemeral magical water painting-style piece?
