Our Story

:wave: Hi, we are Bob Huijbregts (Development) & Maarten van Broekhoven (Game Design & Art).

Audio

Sound Effects are all found on artlist.io and slightly modified to fit the game. The radio messages are recorded by Maarten. We opted-out of the audio rating because the radio messages are the only sounds we recorded ourselves.
