@VoicesByZane I think some alien encounters fit this bill as well. Look at these little freaks. Rather than letting this make cryptids seem less interesting, instead we should simply accept that owls are in fact actual monsters living among us.

It's a known issue that Steam users often leave bad reviews citing low playtime as the source. To combat this, NSE games will now all be furnished with a VHS-style "Standard Runtime" label at the top of our store pages to clearly set expectations prior to purchase.
