It is time again to convene the Steam Award Selection Committee, whose sole task is to nominate the best and brightest of the year. This esteemed committee is composed of those most qualified to judge: you!
For this reason, we highly encourage YOU to buckle up and vote for orbit.industries in the category of Sit Back and Relax Award! We believe that even though space missions could work your mind to the bone, the perspective of reaching the stars as a space commander balancing on the edge of the universe could bring even the most hardened, the inner zen of floating and developing endlessly whatever you want in the unbounded modes!
