Revive & Prosper will be part of Steam’s Next Fest

I’m happy to announce that our game will be part of the upcoming Next Fest on Steam. Next Fest starts June 19th, and ends June 26th.

For the last two weeks we’ve been focusing on giving players the best possible experience.

I’m aware that the game has a steep learning curve, and for people who don’t know the genre it can be hard to understand.

And it took even longer when the characters need to sleep, eat and drink.

So I came with the idea to spawn a golem for each character. Here’s a short video explaining the new feature (I have behind me quite a few hectic days, so please excuse my bad voice quality):
