Winter 2020 - Update


Update - Winter 2020

It's been a long year, and many of us are cooped up in our homes, but fortunately Gordon City remains a place you can explore, talk to people and make friends the old fashioned way! We were happy to share our game to the public this year for the very first time. It's been a largely positive experience and we've learned a lot. This update accounts for feedback we've received, both online and in-person, and also includes our own ideas for improvement.
