I have recorded a video! I just need to get it converted + fix the sound volume and post it, but I am second-guessing whether I should actually post it because I talked about truth and stuff but probably it's long enough that nobody's going to listen if that's uncomfortable for them so i'll get to that! but, also importantly: here is a trailer that announces when this game i've been working on will finally come out!
