  "account": "Rebel Wolves announced on September 5 that their dark vampire RPG, Blood of Dawnwalker, had already sold 1 million copies three days after its launch on September 2. The developer expressed gratitude to the players, supporters, and community members in their celebratory post. The game received a positive review from Australian editor Shaun Prescott, who praised the storytelling and combat but wished for stronger execution of the unique time mechanics. Despite not fully realizing the innovative potential of its design, Blood of Dawnwalker has been well-received by the gaming community. The game has garnered 8,296 total reviews on Steam, with a majority rating of Very Positive. The success of Zero Company, another release from the same studio, is also noteworthy, with 15,562 reviews and a positive rating on Steam. However, the developers of Zero Company are currently facing uncertain times, with 80% of the staff on furlough awaiting further investment and revenue.",
