Everything about how this game was built is read off public information: the
Steam store page, the developer's own devlogs, the recent review corpus, and the
demo depot manifest that Steam publishes (file names and sizes only — nothing was
unpacked, decompiled, or redistributed). It is an outside reading, not a statement
from the developer. All game footage and images belong to ShepherdWorks.
Made by someone who's been building games for over twenty years.
