It's a complex issue, and each dev will have their own priorities, so it's great to take the time to ask the devs you care to support. 

In our case, Itch and Humble are probably the stores the most aligned with our company values, but at the end of the day, we believe each player should decide what's best for them, because it's your hard-earned money. In practice, the crushing majority of PC gamers still buy on Steam when they have a choice. So while some other stores are more generous with royalties, devs rarely see a huge impact on their bottom line because relatively few people buy on Itch vs. Steam.

Meanwhile, it is true that Itch allows devs to decide how much of the royalties on each sale go to Itch. In our case, we believe in Itch's mission, so we set it so that they keep the same percentage of royalties as Steam does.

Have a great day!

Mac has just been uploaded. Linux build will follow this week. Thanks for your patience!

Generally, from the devs perspective, it's the support of all builds across all systems that causes the delays here. Every build on every store needs to be adequately tested, one at a time, before we publish it; and we'll understandably prioritize the builds/stores that get the most users. 

Meanwhile, since the GOG linux build is currently being patched, we're waiting 'til that's stable before adding it here.

No plans to bring the OST & Artbook to other stores just now - we're 100% focused on stabilizing the main game on all systems for the next bit. Thanks for your patience!

It's relative, of course, but given the investment from the team over three years, and the fact that it's a 30+ hour game, we consider it a fair price.

Thanks for the feedback
