This pre-release battle has dragged on long enough...

(If you wonder why is Thea lying like that while she still has some HP left, it's because she's playing dead.)

Everything is finally (*ahem*) ready for the release of Nod's route, and it's coming into Early Access on September 5th! We honestly can't thank you enough for your patience and support throughout the years. There are still ways to go before Minotaur is complete, but this is an important milestone. More than half of the game is done, and since most of its basic mechanics have already been implemented, we hope that the work on the other routes will go faster.

Aside from the news of the hour, I'd like to use this opportunity to address a recent controversy surrounding Chris Niosi (who plays Nod in Minotaur), which involves his abusive treatment of numerous people, as well as a violation of an NDA with Nintendo. I wanted you to know that we're well aware of the situation, and we obviously do not condone behavior that involves any form of abuse or breach of trust. Unfortunately, we're also very limited in our response options. Nod's part is huge (it's his route that we're releasing, after all); recording, processing and adding it to the game had been a long and costly process, and at this point in production, we simply do not have the resources to repeat it. Maybe this or some other option will become viable in future, but for the moment, I hope for your understanding in this matter.

To wrap this announcement up on a brighter note, I'd like to confirm that Nod's route OST will be available on the fifth too : ) In fact, it will also include a small "bonus" package of 10 additional tracks (for a total of 30), some of which are variations and remixes of main in-game songs. I've bragged about it enough already, but we really love it, and I hope you will too! Here's a wallpaper based on its cover in case you haven't seen it yet:

If you have any questions about the upcoming release, please let us know, and we'll do our best to answer them. In the meantime... I hope you're as excited about it as we are!

PS: did I mention it's September 5th this year?
