Itโ€™s been 3 weeks since The Hilltop Funeral launched in EA on Steam.

Bugs fixed. Feedback received.
Reviews are low. Refunds are high.
Much more we could have done better. Much more we are still working on.

The result is...a 7 minute video of random yapping while making little progress on the game.
