South of the Circle done. That hit me *hard* - an emotional delight + gut punch. Joy, love, anger, confusion all wrapped in an incredibly well paced experience with superb writing and some of the best VO I've ever heard. Wow. Going to be thinking about this for a while.

It’s LAUNCH DAY for South of The Circle on PC and console today, and though I’ve not been on this project for a while it still has a very special place in my heart. Check it out if you haven’t already, and congrats to @State_of_Play and @11bitstudios!
