Hey everyone, Thanks so much for waiting for us.

Once you begin the installer, you may have to approve it through your computer's security settings. Don't worry - there's just some cute girls in there. No viruses. Thanks again for your patience, and we hope to share more with you soon!

Hello everyone! Just letting you know that there's been a short delay regarding our demo release. We unexpectedly found a game breaking bug in our latest build, so we're going to take the time and fix it up. We're really sorry about this, and we appreciate your patience on this matter.
