Please don't promote people into buying this game. Some shady asshole ended up stealing the game from the original creators so any purchases you make ends up lining the pockets of the thieves.

The original creators have actually encouraged people to pirate the game instead.

Check the mega thread here to get started. The game is excellent, just don't give your money to the slimy suit that stole the game.

Thanks, I added your comment to the body of the post. It's ultimately up to the customer whether they want to buy the game on Steam.

Be aware that the original devs get nothing.
