Hello, I got the game in a bundle, and the Windows version does not seem to work as a standalone application; it boots up Steam instead, and will not work even if you delete the Steam files in the folder. If you could address this so the game plays DRM-free it'd be appreciated; thank you in advance, and let me know if you need additional information from this end.

Hi, sorry for necroposting, but I just tried this on Linux, and I have the same issue. After starting the game, it tries to launch on Steam, but because I got it in a bundle and so didn't get a Steam key, I'm unable to play. In case it helps, I installed and launched the game via the Itch app, and I have yet to try standalone. Still, if you need more info, please feel free to ask.
