Good game! But…

I have played this game multiple times before, and needless to say it is the best game I have played! But, the option to buy the season pass on here is unavailable, but why? The same pretty much goes for Before the Storm on the App Store, it won’t let me buy the pass.

Best game ever made

I downloaded this game back in 2018, and till this day it remains my favourite game of all time. I am forever grateful that I found this game when I did; it will stick with me for life.
