I self-published Without a Dawn in May. I made zero compromises, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... 💛💚
Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩

Without a Dawn is a relatively short game, so I decided "no demo" quite early on.

I checked your Twitch, and you have a fair number of followers, so I feel it would be cross-promotional! 😊

It's around 50 minutes, depending on how quickly one reads. Definitely a game to be played in one sitting. I'd be happy to send you a key if you want to give it a whirl!

Halloween is fast approaching, and I'd love some more eyes for Without a Dawn. Yesterday, Jacob Geller talked about my game, which was an incredible feat! I feel some momentum building. Press, influencers, if you're into odd indie horror games, let me know! ☺️

Hehe, thank you so much! The illusion of choice definitely turns some players off, but it's essential for the story. 😁

Three indie games, three different takes on a digital nightmare. While Proximate, Without a Dawn, and Dead Letter Dept. differ in their approaches, the takeaway is the same: our very perception of the world has been warped by systems outside our control. youtu.be/0zxQ9YAzy00
