How am I supposed to claim the key I got after clicking "Claim download key"? it doesn't work on steam, and I could not find a redeeming website on itch.io too. the key came in this format: (Last place is only numbers:) "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX", no link to redeem.

Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for the confusion regarding the keys.

Currently, the Early Access build is only available on Itch.io. While we do have a Steam page, the game has not been officially released on Steam yet. The key you received on your download page is specifically for the Itch.io version, not for Steam. (When the Steam version is ready, you can get a Steam key on your download page to redeem the game on Steam)

I have just posted a new Devlog with more details regarding this and our upcoming plans. Please check it out for a clearer guide on how to access the game.

Thank you for your patience and for supporting the project!

I already figured when you released the huge statement, I was the guy that reported the full game assembly being in the files xD

yeah thank you so much for that Tor the Master Wizard, Please check the download section on the game page again; the latest version with the fixes for the Key Verifier, Church Door, and Jaw Drop is already live there. <3 But the antivirus crash is not fixed we're working on it and post a new version soon!
