A player left this on Steam and I can't tell if it's a compliment or a warning 😅 "Cool game, the first puzzles in the tavern are BRUTAL... lmao" - Steam player SpYdEr5178 Who would you drag into the tavern with you? 💛 store.steampowered.com/app/3849930?utm_source=bluesky #CoOpGame #IndieGame

Two weeks since launch, quieter than I hoped. Then a player who finished it wrote "the best co-op puzzle game", harder than any co-op they'd played. That one keeps me going. If you played it, a Steam review helps more than you know 💛 store.steampowered.com/app/3849930?utm_source=bluesky

Steam review by ExPromi, Recommended, 10 hours on record, 27 people found it helpful. Title in Russian: "The best co-op puzzle game."

A player spent 10 hours in Once Before Us with a partner, then left this: "The best puzzles for co-op playthroughs." - Steam player CraX That one line made my week 💛 store.steampowered.com/app/3849930?utm_source=bluesky #CoOpGame #IndieGame

Steam review by CraX, Recommended, 10.0 hours on record: "The best puzzles for co-op playthroughs. At first it seems like the game is bad, but if you want to warm up your brain, I recommend it for a playthrough."

It still feels unreal that people are playing something I spent years making. Every chapter is its own world, and none can be solved alone. If there's someone you'd play it with, a repost would mean the world to me 💛 store.steampowered.com/app/3849930?utm_source=bluesky #CoOpGame #IndieGame

A Steam curator called Once Before Us "a true friendship test" and I can't stop smiling 💛 "Co-op where shouting 'Look left!' solves everything." - IndieSight store.steampowered.com/app/3849930?utm_source=bluesky #CoOpGame #IndieGame

Steam curator review by IndieSight, Recommended: "Co-op where shouting Look left! solves everything. Abandoned places and two-player riddles. A true friendship test."

Solo dev here. For years I dreamed of sharing a game I made, and now it's out. Still feels unreal. Once Before Us needs two players - got someone to play with? I'd love for you to take a look 💛 store.steampowered.com/app/3849930?utm_source=bluesky #ScreenshotSaturday #CoOpGame #IndieGame

I launched my 2-player co-op puzzle game 8 days ago. Steam hides the review score until 10 reviews - we're at 1. Played Once Before Us with someone? A one-line review would genuinely help a solo dev. store.steampowered.com/app/3849930/... #CoOpGame #IndieGame

Gaming Grandma on Once Before Us: "Real communication or you won't get far here - one spots the clue, the other figures out what to do with it. The puzzles test both logic and your ability to work as a team." store.steampowered.com/app/3849930/...
