I'm happy that Without a Dawn sales have picked up a little bit! At this rate, it should break even sometime next year, and maybe even turn some profit. This is significant for such a niche love project. Thank you all for your incredible support! 💚

I'm thinking about getting Without a Dawn localized to a few more languages, but I'm torn if I should pursue fan localizations (sort of my original plan) or empty my pockets for professional localizations. 😅 I'd very much love to include Japanese, it would be a good fit for sure!

If you enjoy dark, meaningful, and artistic games, there's a good chance you'd enjoy my visual novel, Without a Dawn: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/...
It was such a heavy game to develop, but I'm proud of how it turned out. Your support is appreciated. Thank you! 💚

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! ☺️

Without a Dawn is a short, single-sitting psychological visual horror novel. It's brutal, delicate, and a mature look into mental health issues, unlike anything I've ever played. I feel it deserves more love: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Thank you! 💛💚

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. 😩
