very fun!!
Also, does anyone find it a bit odd that the Fractured Kingdom Bonus campaign has weapons that are not found in the main campaign?
My dad use to have the PS2 Version. Also, why are the cutscenes fuzzy? and is there an age restriction for this!? The intro creeps me out a bit.
I have two questions:
1. Is there a reason the Linux version isn't on Itch.io ? (I suspect it's because it's in plenty of repos but I figured I'd ask)
2. I see on Github that there is an Arm build but only for Windows, are there any plans to make a Linux Arm build ?
