I didnโ€™t expect this to keep unfolding the way it did. Quietly ambitious. More layered than it looks.

Having a lot of Steam issues: got a error on releasing the game in the Steam backend, then the store page went offline for everyone on trying to release. Now thats fixed but the game still isn't showing in search results / new releases, and not showing in some libraries. So, rough launch day so far!

Will be way slower, but maybe this regrowth speed could make a good boss fight
