That's a big one for me. We put together Ware-wolf Campfire Stories with 14 other devs as a jam/Collab this past October and it's up for FREE for everyone to check out.
Honored for the nomination and for everyone's work to be acknowledged 🤩

A "For Your Consideration" graphic for Cherry Hill: A Trucking Adventure Simulator, with feature art including the player, a semi-truck, and a distance mountain range. It suggests the "Best Sim/Strategy Game" category. It includes two review quotes. The first is "It may have asked more of me than any game I've ever played on the Playdate." by Playdate Unofficial. The second is "... Cherry Hill delivers a payload packed with obsessive love for detail." by Cranko! Magazine.
