After nearly 3 years of working on this almost every day, the game is out in 1.0 now.
Thanks for following along the journey! I hope you enjoy the full release.

If you'd like to offer additional support to me and/or the composer, you can also get the soundtrack right here on Steam, too.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4767280/NOMIA_Official_Soundtrack/I'll be around for bug fixes, so if you encounter anything strange, please report it using the in-game link.

Reviews and comments are always appreciated!
