We were blessed to have a Daily Deal for Death and Taxes this January. I'm speechless. After some very rough times this was by far the best sale we've ever had, surpassing our last Daily Deal together our last remaining Steam Visibility Boost. This will keep our studio running the next few months🥰
Death and Taxes sold 55187 copies in the last 30 days on Steam. I can not put into words how thankful I am for this, because we've not been doing too hot financially, and this ensures our survival for at least a few months!

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources. On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names. dan rigiššu “loud is his bark” munaššiku gārîšu “biter of his foe” mušēṣi lemnūti “expeller of evil”
Photo of 5 dog figurines in profile facing to the left in a staggered line. The closest one is reddish, the three in the middle are beige, and the furthest is dark grey. Each one has a cuneiform inscription on their side.

Longdue stating that "founded by contributors of Disco Elysium" is a perfect sentence. It's legally correct and it creates the illusion of continuity. Their single disco writer left and was sued to not work. Longdue is able to show off a single contributor with a name. I don't know that name. 1/3
