This is a really cool game even though this subject matter is all pretty new to me. Though my progress keeps getting lost because each time I start the game up anew it gives me error messages and I seem to have to re-download it.
Maybe I'd have better luck playing through Steam: I saw a Steam Key mentioned but I cannot locate that. Where do I find the Steam Key? I see a "steam_api.dll" file in the folder but that doesn't seem like the right thing to use.
