our lead voice actress Erica talking about what this game means for her (and how rare it is for her to see her own culture and people represented in non-war-focused video games!!!) is absolutely lovely and heartwarming and I love that my colleagues were able to further showcase her work like this!!!

I'm gonna order myself some new TMQ merch from redbubble so here's your reminder that all of this stuff (and more) exists and you can have it to if you want to proudly wear the coolest horse game website's logo on your skin/bag/miscellaneous article
