We love looking over everyone's feedback which is why we’d humbly like to ask anyone who’s enjoyed their time in the world of Escape Academy to take a moment to leave a review on our Steam page (if you haven’t already). Not only does feedback help us improve our craft as game developers, but Steam reviews are the lifeblood of indie games like ours and even just a handful of fresh reviews can transform the game’s visibility and do wonders to help our growing studio. We cannot understate how much we appreciate everyone who’s been along for the ride, and with your help, we hope to keep rolling for a long time to come! Thank You, Coin Crew Games
