I was thinking about downloading this. I’m glad I didn’t.
I googled if it was getting a limited run or physical release around 1 week ago, but found nothing, then i bought it on eshop… DAMN IT!
Now I can actually support this game. If all indie games were to release physical versions I would support them before triple A games.
I just need these games to be ported to the Switch physically….

You know what, just pretty much every successful and/or promising indie game on steam basically.
CRAP! I already downloaded it! If I get the physical release, would it access the save states from the downloaded version?
