If you payed $5 then you are going to have to wait 1-2 weeks. Only those who payed $10 can get early access
I got the game on sale for $5 at 50% off. So its the $10 version. Unless they don't respect the concept of a sale, which would be complete BS.
Buying while on sale doesn't give you access to the latest version automatically, sadly. I learned this the hard way myself after buying during a 50% off sale and still having to wait for the price to drop to match my purchased "sale" price.
I paid $10 and I didn't get early access. I only see 0.56
I'd say you guys should contact itch then. I dont think Freyada has any control of itch transactions
