Nominate Nine Sols for the "Game of the Year" in The Steam Awards 2024
It's hard to believe it's only been 6 months since the release of Nine Sols, and our Taopunk action platformer has already accumulated almost 15,000 overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam. This is a significant milestone, but more importantly, we couldn't have done it without you—our players worldwide. Thank you all for your incredible support!
Steam has just launched its annual vote for games on the platform, with one of the categories being "Game of the Year." While we haven't had much spotlight in major awards this year, and it might be a bit bold for us to even think about winning, Nine Sols is a title we've spent over 5 years perfecting every aspect of. We truly believe it's a unique and fun game. So if you've enjoyed the Taopunk experience, we'd be honored if you considered nominating Nine Sols for the Game of the Year Award. 🙏
Again, thank you all for reading this and for your continuous support!
