History
LOCKED's developpement started in late 2021 as a test project to learn to use Unity. I was also esperimenting with "fat outlined hight resolution 2D" artstyle at the time so it was a good opportunity to use it here. As time goes on I figured the game had potential so I decided to push further to release it.
