Thanks to the incredible kindness of @projectenso.games, my queer horror game Our Wonderland is coming to Steam! It'll be the remastered version packed with new art and goodies!

This is still incredibly important and still happening to people even if less people are talking about it now.

My works are still heavily impacted as someone who makes games that cover a lot of sensitive topics even if they aren't R18. (My itch acct and game are still deindexed.)
