Nominate Against the Storm for the Steam Awards
Greetings, Viceroys!
With the start of the Autumn Sale, nominations for this year’s Steam Awards are underway and we’d like to ask for your support by nominating Against the Storm for the Labor of Love Award.
We recently announced that Against the Storm is leaving Early Access on December 8, so we decided to take this opportunity to look back at the past 12 months.
