First of all... wow.

We tossed Liquidation Day: Sucking Isn’t Optional into a 5-day free sale just to see what would happen. Spoiler alert: something actually did happen. 

The Numbers Don’t Lie (But They Do Cry Sometimes)

• 👀 Views: from 210 → 1,027

• ⬇️ Downloads: from 12 → 102

• 💸 Gross Revenue: somehow still increased from $47 → $78 (thank you generous humans who paid before or after the sale!)

• ❤️ Collections: 2 → 25 (hello wishlisters!)

• 💬 Comments: doubled

The visibility spike was wild. We broke the 1,000 views mark for the first time. Downloads exploded in a way we hadn’t seen before. No, we’re not quitting our day jobs yet — but this felt like a tiny step forward.

What Did We Learn?

• Sales actually work. Even for tiny, weird, sarcastic vacuum simulators.

• The world might have a place for a Finnish, soul-crushed corporate janitor protagonist.

• Itch.io's community is surprisingly supportive and curious.

What’s Next?

It’s summer.
We’re likely hitting a bit of a development break — because burnout is real, and Finnish sunlight only happens once a year. 🌞

But we’re not done.
In the fall, we’ll figure out:

• More content?

• Bigger updates?

• Or maybe something entirely new?

Stay tuned. And if you haven’t tried the game yet — well… it’s no longer free. Sorry. But it’s still just €2, which is less than a bad cup of coffee.
