Look I understand the brand would never sign off on it, but the Hitman franchise is Swedish - so why in Odin's name has there never been a level set in a flat pack furniture superstore?

With the CEO of Gumroad now at DOGE, I killed everything I have on there. I had a *lot*, so I wrote a script for it.
