Now we got the salesman pitch out of the way, let's get to the important stuff:

In Extremis was my first commercial game, released on Steam in the end of 2016; it took four years of dedicated work for it to come to fruition, as well as the collaboration of several artists and musicians.

It's not your regular game; each stage is unique on their own, including visuals, sound effects and gameplay systems; each moment of  play has been exhaustively thought-out and planned.

The decision to release it on itch.io as a pay-what-you-want title stems from my desire to see it reach a wider audience, as well as paying respect to the countless free indie games from 2006-2012 era which inspired it.
