Contact

Got a story that needs pixels, a port, or a question about a job? We read every message like a secret NPC line.

The dev room

Behind the hedge is where the cut content lives: a fishing minigame, a dog that could talk, and a whole second ending. Sometimes they come back in the next game. Say "hedge" in your message and we will send you a sticker sheet.
