Notes

LSTR is a team project that we dared to complete before Summer Break ended. There are some bugs, grammatical and spelling mistakes, unrefined elements, and cut content but we did it! In the future we hope that we can eventually get an artist and some more help for the audio. We're hoping to return to this project in the future!

If there are any issues with the project concerning bugs or references, feel free to post a comment or message the linked Discord. We're also open to any feedback!

Thank you and we hope you enjoy the PROTOTYPE of Label Start To Return.
