Thank you for your replies, everyone! So it's mostly about community and discoverability, then. Makes perfect sense, since I think in many ways it's the community that defines the genre conventions and players' expectations of the games themselves. Also, I wanted to point out that I didn't mean &quo...

Re: Rat Happening (short mystery story)

Alright, seeing as there is no feedback, I finalized the game and released version 1.0. I wonder if there is a way to move this topic to Completed Games?
