    One month ago we launched Hermit and Pig on Steam!👴🏽🐷 The game was made by just the two of us over 5 years. We wrote it, programmed it, drew it, composed the music, and somehow shipped a full game. This pic's from launch day when it all got real🍄 #indiegame #indiedev

    Good game alert: Hermit and Pig (launching Feb 5) is a real charmer. Earthbound-style RPG that balances being legitimately funny and surprisingly weighty. A silly game that gives real thought to what telling a story about mushrooms could mean! store.steampowered.com/app/2408350/...

    Hermit and Pig: This is the most Earthbound game I've seen in a long time. It's relatively short and has the dreaded timed turns but there's ways to edit your battling experience to make it easier on you if you're like me and forget the combo buttons. A lot of fun. Heartwarming ending.
