Hey hey!!! Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot that you're excited to play this with your friends! ^_^ The Stripe issue is something specific to certain card providers in the US that I unfortunately can't fix, but I just checked to make sure and PayPal should work fine at checkout!
If that also doesn't work, there's also my ko-fi where you can leave that $5 and I can DM you a download key here on itch! Thank you again for the support and whenever you get around to playing it with your crew, let me know how it goes! <3
