“Esophaguys has been a labor of love for us over the past four years, and at times I thought it would never see the light. The abundant laughter and heartfelt experiences at our showcases from San Francisco to Kyoto have encouraged us immensely. Esophaguys is the best co-op-neck-stretching, old-folk-flinging, jews-harp-plucking game in existence. I can guarantee it will make you smile alone, and have you howling with your friends. With great pride, do we release it on Steam!”
- Peyton Blake, Game Designer
