And like clockwork, I found some pretty nasty bugs immediately after release.

Patch 0.4.1 fixes these bugs!

Five days after Steam release, and we have 9 positive Steam reviews and only 1 Russian troll apologizing for USSR war crimes on my Discord!

(But that last part is a story for another day.)

Once we hit 10 positive reviews, the game will get a nice boost in Steam visibility! The Great Leader will be very pleased by this outcome

Picking along at the game at a relaxed pace so far; left a humorous positive review!

I'll be leaving my first ever Steam review for it later.

Fun so far! Glory to the Great Leader!

Thanks guys! The Great Leader appreciates your undying support

I made it. I'm finally there. I made a real game.

Someone left a negative Steam review on my game completely unrelated to the game itself!

Someone needs to tell the CIA I'm still waiting on that blood money for writing a fictional VN, because I still haven't received any!
