I'm liking this game pitch... 🤔

@matttwood.dev my daughter just finished LKBC this week. She's just starting to get into games and this is the first one she played through.

You and the team did excellent work ❤️

I found a crazy bug in Avowed guys

I don't know if I should take your advice or not... 🤯

I was thinking about something similar the other day, but lacked motivation to do it instead of all the other things in life.
