At the end of 2022 @kelsyabbott and I started writing the latest @dlalastudios game. It's had a lot of changes and A LOT of rewrites but today we wrapped on VO.

Kelsy is the most amazing writing partner I could ask for, and she also absolutely kills it in her roles in the game.

@TheMikeRobles Thanks so much, Mike! It is so great playing it on the other platforms and seeing it in 4K!

Beyond excited about this. All versions of the game were built in-house at Dlala with our wonderful, small, dedicated team.

C.A.S.H. is one of my favourite pieces of content, over-the-moon that we're able to bring it to existing players for free, as well as new players.
