God Save the Queen

Hurtling Towards Alpha

The last week or so has been a bit of a blur in the Stranglehall. We’re all super busy getting ready for alpha. Alpha is a mythical time in a game’s life where everything is done, it’s just not done all the way quite yet. You can play the entire game from front to back, […]
