※ Hey newsletter subscribers! What’s the most important thing in game development?

※ Don’t drink alcohol on weekdays!

※ Heh heh heh… Give caffeine the boot.

As we have done in the past, we have just put together a fan survey to get to know a little bit more about you, as we plan out how we bring Stray Children into the world in the future!

Are there any particular platforms you’d love to see the game released on? Are there any specific languages you’d love to see it released in?

Are you interested in special edition physical bundles? Do you want soundtracks? Figurines of the characters in the game?

All of this is possible… we just need to know that you actually want it to exist, and this is your way to tell us!

To participate, just follow this link right here and take a few minutes to let us know your thoughts!

It will be a huge help and let us know what we should focus on in the future, so feel free to pass this link to the survey on to any friends you think will also be interested in the game!
