Yes, I was able to download it from itch without any problems, as always. The risk of using a VPN on Steam is too high for me. I have way more than 1k games, and I don't know how strict they are. I don't want to lose my account.
What surprises me is that the activation worked for a hundred other games and I only get an error message here...shit happens.
btw.
I'm looking forward to the game, I like the art style.
