The original intent was, since visibly, you see the Demo separate from the game, to have all the Patch Notes and Discussion happen over there. What's happening now though is that some folks are discussing the Demo on the regular game's (not out yet) Discussion forums. We have a lot more activity and information on the Demo's hub because...it's the Demo's hub. But help us decide what to do: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdad1ox-6JaPlSvYspKnKHltQ5oi5dwen76zP1RFMDNXt9bcQ/viewform?usp=sf_link Incredible Feedback Thanks for all the incredible feedback over the past few weeks.

That was pretty sweet. http://www.indiedb.com/games/contagion-vr-outbreak Discord And don't forget about Discord, the easiest way to communite in real-time with not only the devs but also the 700+ community members already on there! https://discord.gg/monochrome FAQ, Roadmap, Website The official website will be up soon and will have a very long and informative FAQ as well as our roadmap so you all can see what we have planned for the future!
