Hey everyone,

This year marks 10 years of ZELENIUK GAMES! And I have to talk about where it all began: ASSASSINATION BOX. To be completely honest—this game is a mess. It was my first project, it somehow passed through Steam Greenlight, and after a year in Early Access, I released it in a very raw, buggy, and broken state. Shortly after, I abandoned it because I didn't know what to do with it. As part of my 10th anniversary celebration, I came up with #unshovel. With this initiative, I am going to fix my past mistakes and clean up the store from the shovelware I've filled it with. And I seriously thought about delisting ASSASSINATION BOX as well. Honestly, it’s just clutter in the Steam store at this point. However, I’ve decided to keep it on the store for free instead. It’s a bad game, but it’s my first game, and I don’t want to erase that part of my story.

What this means for you:

Thanks for sticking with me and seeing how far I've come since ASSASSINATION BOX. Check out my other games and stay tuned for more news regarding the 10th anniversary!

Sincerely, Vitalii Zeleniuk
