Steam Community :: Pupil - Alpha Build 0.7 [SUPERS UPDATE] (BETA RE-RELEASE COMING SOON)

Update: 23 Jul @ 10:14pm

Sorry for the long gap in between updates. Because of college and the new job I wasn't able to keep up with the updates and many Unbalanced moves were unaddressed for months. Hopefully this update fixes that.
