Thank you very much for your input and the rating.
We hope you enjoyed our game and we are preparing our next launches. Stay tuned!
You're right — thank you for catching that. Our profile copy was written before we settled on this pricing, and I hadn't gone back to update it. That's my error and I appreciate you pointing it out honestly.
For transparency: Route Nine launched at $9.99 with a 33% launch-week sale. The "free at launch" language on the profile was aspirational for a different pricing model we considered and didn't take. I've updated the profile now to reflect reality. Here's a free download key for you as a thank-you for saying something instead of just clicking away:

If you play it, I'd love to know what are your thoughts on the game since feedback will really help us improve and you can stay tuned for more games if you like it.
