So what is Tumbling Apart about?

The following is lifted from our steam greenlight page (Which we’d love for you to take the time to vote for)!

"This could be the next game that transcends the need for flashy modern gaming systems and tells its story through solid, simple gameplay, narration, dialogue and setting." -Orange Bison
