Love! Plz update to Duo

The touch controls are great. Please update to iOS 27.1!!

Dance in the pale moonlight

With these cards and these timers, I will show you how we dance under the boughs of the wood. Within a house without walls we love, lose, sing and sacrifice, to the beat of a great thunderskin.

we need 60fps please

I love this game but we truly need 60fps because the lagging issue is really severe right now

Excruciatingly Enjoyable

Fun and frustrating. Mellow and morbid.
Unusual and unfurling.

Randomly lost my save :(

I love love love this game!! It’s been my favourite game for months and I always come back to it when I feel like a challenge.

I’ve been playing the ghoul dlc for a while, about 4 weeks maybe for a few hours a day. But, now when I open the app it says begin game and my save has been wiped :(

I know I didn’t press purge save or wipe my app data. So I’m not sure why this has happened but I’m really sad :(
