Happy Easter, everyone! Anna, Aria, Lena, Sasha and Tiffany from The Darkness Within wore something special for their first Bunny Special render. Some fit immediately well in them, while others... might have felt some slight embarrassment. Which girl do you think pulled off the look best? Let me kno

Hi everyone, and welcome to my 11th Dev Log! These past 2 weeks have been incredible! I managed to get a ton of renders done, I made some music and SFX, and continued writing Dialogue.
