Exclusive content
Support this game at or above a special price point to receive something exclusive.
Physical Copies
I've printed a very limited amount of physical copies. They are fully colored and extremely pretty.
Since Itch.io does not support customers sending varying shipping cost, the price of 25$ already includes shipping costs to EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.
I cannot ship to the US or elsewhere.
Each physical copy purchased will generate two community copies.
Community Copy
Every purchase and every tip over the original price will generate a community copy for those who can't afford the game at the moment.
It would be really cool, if you could...

...after downloading the community copy!
Have a great one, people!

I claimed a community copy and after reading through decided to purchase a copy. Excited to get started! I’m on a major space exploration kick lately.
Just had a question, what is the exclusive content?
Hey, thanks for the support! I hope you'll enjoy the game. The "exclusive content" part is how I included the community copies. Maybe I made a mistake there, I'm new to this 🫠
But I want to release a multiplayer add-on soon, so that might make up for that.
Hahaha I should I looked a little closer and I would have known. All good! I’ve claimed my fair share of community copies over Covid when work was slow. I’m happy to give back. I just wish old habits didn’t die so slow and I just bought it in the first place instead of taking a CC first. Oh well, next time for sure.
Looking forward to a session tonight!
A wonderful game, meditative and mysterious! If you like solo games definitely check it out. The art ist super nice as well. Secret pro tip: there is some great ambient music to listen to while playing if you search 4NCI3NTS SOUNDTRACK on yt. <3
Thank you so much <3
That secret pro tip is correct 😎
the premise for this game seems so cool! I have a huge backlog of games to try right now but this one is definitely going on the wishlist for when I have a few extra dollars to spend on a new game <3
Thanks! Once I figure out how they work, there will also be community copies. Probably this weekend 👉
