Hey! Here's a little summer update to remind you how much we love you 😍😍😍 (DON'T MISS THIS)
8 months ago – Mon, Aug 21, 2023 at 09:28:03 AM

Dear Cyberlovers,

How is your summer going? Here are a few quick updates on how the shipments are coming along

Meet Y, one of the the most intriguing new entries in ENHANCED Vol.2

Damaged copies 🥺🥺🥺

As you can imagine, every copy of ENHANCED has cost us sweat and time, so we are the first to feel bad when we know of copies being ruined.

At the moment there have been very few instances worldwide of copies arriving with damage, which proves that the packaging we use is adequate, but unfortunately there is little we can do against the rudeness and disrespect of some transport operators.

We are already moving forward with DHL to figure out how to proceed, but as of now I can reassure you that we will get replacement copies to you as soon as possible...just in case this time packed even more securely, in case some local DHL couriers want to turn on your books again.

We realized that some transporters can be very nasty and rough, so to significantly decrease the chances of copies arriving damaged, we obtained backing boards, very rigid, with which to cover the front and back of the volume. The size is slightly wider than the book, so that the latter does not absorb any bumps. 

Try to damage THIS, DHL!

We will send replacement copies to backers who have requested them shortly, as soon as reprints arrive. At today, we “just” had less than 10 damaged copies on 1k worldwide shipments. Thank you again for your valuable feedback that is helping us to improve the experience and quality of Enhanced, whose community is increasingly active and responsive.  We'll do better for Vol.2!

ART COLLECTORS! Only 2 original pages (Fine Art) left available! 💥💥💥 

This one-of-a-kind physical panel of the book is a true masterpiece. Each page will be available in a one-of-a-kind design, ensuring that you'll have an exclusive masterpiece to call your own. Get yours today and elevate your collection to new heights! 🔝

Grab yours in our official store HERE

HARD COVER SMALL DELAY ⏱️

Did you order the hardcover version and still haven't received anything? That makes sense, don't panic. 

There are about 30 or so users whose shipment has been delayed, due to a batch of less-than-perfect hard covers (specifically, 2 pages were slightly sticking). 

Obviously, we can't send a non-perfect product and the printer is reprinting them, they will be ready as soon as possible. New copies are obviously already in print, but the summer holidays have not favored us.

I apologize so much for the delay and will be sure to put as many goodies as possible in the package to make up for the mishap, which was not our fault but of course we still feel obliged to excuse ourselves. If you have any doubts or want to check if you are among these users, please feel free to write a message via kickstarter or to [email protected]

Facebook group community is growing like crazy! 

I would like to remind you that all the preview news, magazine reviews, new pics can be found here...if you are not yet a member, we are waiting for you HERE

Make sure you're free in October 2023 🤤🤤🤤

"Alright, I get it... but I'm really curious about the story's development!"

Dude, Volume 1 was merely a prelude. Volume 2 is where things start to intensify. Introducing new characters, uncharted settings, a substantial increase in action, and perhaps most importantly... a significantly expanded page count! Spread the word and keep our cyber-community growing!!! More fans=more backers=better product & free stuff for everyone!

Speak soon!

Yours,

Simone, Stefano & Barbara
