Cool! I'm happy about it. I hope you will like the game, I had some great fun working on it (BTW I'm still working on the music, another rather pleasing activity).

Mine arrived today ☺️. I'm VERY happy with it, congratulations to you Davide for this excellent adventure, and a very apt soundtrack.

Also, great package with "feelies" just like the old school ones.

Two thumbs up! πŸ‘ πŸ‘

For anybody who's playing on a hardware VIC-20 from SD2IEC,

* The micro-SD that comes with the release has an Images directory. Open Images and drag the the "silk dust vic-20.d64" file to your computer. Rename it to "silkdust.d64"
* Insert another SD card and drag "silkdust.d64" to it, and eject it
* Put this SD card into your SD2IEC and turn on your expanded VIC-20, and do

A new piece of music for Silk Dust, called Varenna Suite. It is for a full orchestra, it was quite a challenge to write this one!
