High-confidence secondary source
SteamDB is used to cross-check identifiers, dates and Steam Deck compatibility. It is not the game developer’s site and is labelled accordingly.

The site uses official Steam screenshots, Steam achievement icons, one developer-published itch.io prototype screenshot and the official trailer thumbnail. Every local asset has its source, capture date, classification and mapping status in the project Asset Manifest.
What is not proof
Search rankings, player questions, forum posts and community guides help identify demand. They do not establish a fact unless an official source or independent current-build evidence supports it.
