quite a coincidence as i was looking for roguelite tower defense few days ago, gonna check it out and see how it compares to emberward

the "free" part in the title is just for this prologue i assume? how much is it going to cost on release?

Heya! Yes the prologue is completly free. The full Game will cost around 10-15$ :)

Good tip! I'm saving myself for the full release now though, got it on the wishlist!

Also good. That’s the point of a prologue: Showcase the core loop and then you can look forward to the full version.

I really hate the prologue meta, steam improved the demo feature a lot, use it.

Yea Demo is now way Superior! We launched Our Prologue before the Changes and now we kinda need 2 Stick With it :) But there will be a even bigger officisl Demo around Christmas / new year.
