Being able to see The Texas Chain Saw Massacre get into the hands of players is one of the proudest accomplishments we’ve had as a studio. We feel proud of the game we’ve made and we’re happy that we’re at a point where we feel The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has reached its full potential. From the very beginning, we’ve always had a clear and concise vision |
