It Takes a War is OUT NOW on @itch.io

If you've played the game on Steam, you'll realise why it's taken a little longer to bring to Itch - but after some bespoke updates and changes, the standalone version of ITAW is now available.

It takes a War is closing in on the 50 review mark - currently sitting at 93% positive.

Come for the ‘pretty poor counter strike clone’, stay for the ‘powerfully moving piece of art’ 📶

TRICK OR TREAT? 🎃

The next 200 subscribers to our newsletter can put their hand in our SPOOKY BAG (can't promise there's nothing slimey/bitey in there) & take a mystery game. Which game? There's 6 different titles in there but WHO KNOWS!?
