An overview of the organizations of Bug & Claw - Devlog #16

I've talked about the Breach a few times in these devlogs, even including an example of them in the Doll's Eye. A few of the folks I chat with about the game have been curious about some of the organizations that will make an appearance. Here are some of them. A reminder that organizations are going to be optional and I'll look to include tools to generate your own if you want to.
