Why free?

I won’t be able to get as much user experience testing done as I would like. It won’t be as refined as my last game Future Proof. So I don’t feel like I can justify charging for the game. Bugs will be minimal and should've hopefully been all ironed out. If you enjoy it, considering supporting our other game Future Proof or donate on our website.
