Will there be a release on mobile platforms?

I looked at the screenshots and the trailer and it seems to me that this game can be adapted for mobile platforms. Just while you are riding a bus, flying a plane, standing in line, the game is perfect, as it seems to me

This game is not short. If you decide to make a mobile version, try to implement the progress in the "cloud" so that while playing on a PC you can continue to play on the phone with the same progress.

Yes, that would be the plan. It already works across desktop platforms at the moment with Steam Cloud.

I'm realy in love for this game, but a mobile portage would be really great to check what "a shade" is actually doing !
Controll it with a phone would be nice too, but only have the possibility to see "a shade" trought a phone would be so great !

Wow, congrats! I literally just bought the desktop game today and on a whim checked if there was a mobile version too. Is the mobile its own run of the game, or can you link desktop/mobile and pick up on one where you left off the other?
