“We may grow old and forget this game (I highly doubt it), but it doesn’t matter because he will always be a part of it. So thank you. And thank you to Undead Labs for literally being the best short-handed team that makes the best games. … I don’t know what else to say, but I love you all,” commented the player when sharing a screenshot of the character that was created in honor of his family member.
