Especially when it feels like the game doesn't get much attention anywhere, it sometimes feels like I've been rowing for nothing.Still, I'm proud of what KeyBreach became, and I'm grateful to everyone who played it, supported it, left feedback, or simply gave it a chance.I hope that, whoever you are and whenever you played it, you enjoyed the game.Thank you.AddedTHE GASLIGHTER, THE PHANTOM, THE PRO, THE HYPERFOCUSED, THE INSOMNIAC, THE CONDUCTOR, THE WHITE HA…
