Loftia Demo - Patch notes #1

Hi Loftians!

It’s been such an exciting start to Steam Next Fest for Loftia and we’re incredibly thankful for everyone’s support. To be one of the top demos in the Next Fest is truly incredible, and we can’t express how grateful we are!

The demo is only a small part of the content, narrative and gameplay systems that Loftia will have at Early Access in less than 2 weeks. There’s so much more of Loftia to be discovered, and we can’t wait to experience it with you. Head on over to the Early Access info page on our website to see what’s yet to come.
