The fact this was done without the Dev's consent is reason enough to remove the MOD who went through with this charade. It being a pirate site that has so far been pretty transparent and diligent about building trust with their base, this weird joke killed a lot of that trust.

It'll be water under the bridge once that mod is removed, as well as an apology to the dev for putting them in the middle of this.

Sadly that won't happen. We have been in talks with someone on the staff and they pretty much said nothing can be done about it ( I think they even said they wouldn't stop the prank and let it continue ).

Trash situation all the way around. Your game is solid, I hope this doesn't discourage your momentum, and I look forward to the real update!

We're still going strong as ever. Would be nice to know who leaked the actual Ep22 script though from the QC team so we can move on and get a release out quicker but now we're having to test it ourselves and with the fixes ontop of that it's just slowing us down.

hi
the game does not work, it does not launch. I copied the unzipped files in the game that I had version "episode 21", and when I client on the EXE file, I have the hourglass 10 seconds and then nothing..

The release isn't a working game. Someone thought it would be funny to release a non-working game on April fools day.
