Oblation - For another dawn by TheNerdAutomaton A recuring nightmare or a hidden reality?

Over the weekend, I was organizing the ifgame SH summer jam. I did not have the time to build a new game on my own, but was able to improve Oblation significantly, mostly in terms of UX and feedback. Really happy about that.
