Dear fans,
Given the circumstances, the Steam Games Festival has been postponed until June 16. Our ASYLUM demo won't be launching next Tuesday as expected, out of respect for the ongoing social movement affecting the world. We commend Valve for taking this difficult decision and Senscape stands by it 100%.
Even though this is happening in the USA, the issue of racism and inequality affects all of us. There are instances of racism everywhere —sometimes involuntary, sometimes deeply hateful— which are strongly tied to the brutal inequality currently plaguing the world, both economic and social. You often hear that “things can't go back to normal” after the pandemic, and this is true: we must strive (all of us, all together) to achieve a more equal and just society, where everybody has the same opportunities and rights.
Don't be fooled by the fallacy of “they think differently” — racism isn’t a matter of opinion. It’s fundamentally wrong and goes against our human nature, so we have a moral imperative to decry it.
No tolerance for the intolerant. Always.
We know many of you needed a refuge space now. You've waited for so long and we are sad to do this, but it's the right thing to do. We'll be back soon with the promised news. In the meantime, we unreservedly extend our support to this movement and demand justice for victims of racism.
Love you all,
— The Senscape Team
