It was built haltingly over about a year and a half using some tools I know well & others I barely understand.I was inspired throughout by the small but resilient community of people using Gamemaker: Studio for 3D development. Like any commercial framework, GM:S has its caveats, but I appreciate its primordial, open-ended toolset, and I hope this game can be a small but interesting contribution to the scene.More than anything, I hope it weirds you out for a little while, and maybe offers a bit of respite from grimly uncertain times.
