Hey everyone!

This year started off very busy and stressful, but I'm glad I managed to release a pretty sizeable update regardless! Beta players can look forward to juicy plot reveals and lots of fun social moments with Ashor, Saeva, Foris, Effera, and Canori!

Yes, it's finally time! If you've been getting tired of the man-only electronics escape room gang, enjoy some women:

Demo update

No Demo update this month, sorry! The next one will drop once all the escape room revamps are done, since I want them all to have a consistent style first. I hope you're looking forward to it!

In the meantime, here's the new Arcade look with the 3D renders:

Thank you so much for your support, and see you next month!
