One week of descents — thank you

Gravemaw has been out for one week. To everyone who descended: thank you.

The crypt has claimed its first players, the world leaderboard is filling in with names and countries, and the first two reviews are up. For a game made by one person, watching real runs appear on the board has been the best part of launch week.

WHAT'S NEXT (small, soon)

- A New Game+ achievement — for clearing NG+1. It unlocks retroactively, so if you've already been that deep, it's yours on your next launch. - The demo's ending still asks you to wishlist a game that is already out. It will offer the full game instead. - Fixes as reports come in. If something bit you that shouldn't have, tell us in the discussions.

A WORD ABOUT REVIEWS

Gravemaw has 2 reviews. At 10, Steam starts showing a score next to the game in search results. If the maw got its teeth into you, a review — one honest sentence is enough — is the single biggest thing you can do for a game this small: https://store.steampowered.com/recommended/recommendgame/5035310

The launch discount (15%) runs until September 9.

Keep moving. What stands still gets digested.
