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!
