\nLast year, we launched Elements of Truth on Kickstarter and were thrilled by the response. We’re now in the final stages of production, and Kickstarter rewards are shipping soon. If you missed the campaign, you can now pre-order the retail edition through our new website here - https://ve42.co/YTDEcl
\nIf you backed us on Kickstarter, don’t worry, your game will ship before any pre-orders are fulfilled.
