The developer sent me a press key and I was able to jump into the game with the ongoing demo, you can find my thoughts and preview/review over at this link! The developer is honestly killing it with the quality of work going into this game. He's also both listening AND utilizing community feedback from the alpha testers, which is nice to see. Recommend following along with the updates in the Discord or by following him on Twitter.
Notes:
- Kickstarter backers received Alpha access at the end of the Kickstarter campaign- you can still back to receive game access!
- The title is Old Western slang for “stay alive.”
- This adorable website tells us the game will (eventually) be coming to Steam, Switch, PS5, and XBox One.
- Developer is committed to working on the game as a single player experience- will update if that changes. (Dev Response, Steam Forums)
TBD.
