WarmWater · October 13, 2023, 1:26am

Bio · October 13, 2023, 1:37am

Nightmares

WarmWater · October 13, 2023, 1:38am

Bio · October 13, 2023, 1:41am

Making a top down story game, cause I don’t like horror games

WarmWater · October 13, 2023, 1:41am

Bio · October 13, 2023, 1:49am

Nah it’ll be alright, I chose to go solo for this one so I don’t have to deal with team shenanigans again.

Thanks for offering though!

Randomness · October 13, 2023, 5:07am
