“Certain aspects of Concord were exceptional,” Hulst continued, “but others did not land with enough players, and as a result we took the game offline. We have spent considerable time these past few months exploring all our options [and] after much thought, we have determined the best path forward is to permanently sunset the game and close the studio.”

I posted this xkcd a couple of weeks ago, it’s always relevant!

Itch.io is even warning me against downloading any of the files (which is kind of weird when they control the platform) so proceed with caution, I guess!

See thee instructions linked on this post

Behold, the image in higher quality (both resolution and including all the words)

This reads like a No Such Thing As A Fish fact

Looks like this is free-to-play rather than a giveaway, could you add [Forever-Free Friday] to the start of the title please (it’s close enough to Friday for this one but please save others like this for Fridays!)
