Welcome to the Chain Reaction is the game that started the life of Last Message (WAY back in 2019!). This video meant the world to us and we wanted to keep the memory of the game by sprucing it up and bring it in as free bonus content for everyone to enjoy!

Also since the release of Last Message we've been enjoying many videos and comments and noticed some requests from those of you that played and we hope these changes help refine the experience for more people that wish to enjoy it.
