I have no ability to scan QR codes, so finding a QR code I have to scan to download digital files makes me feel like I paid money and you're holding back part of what I paid for. It doesn't feel good.

oh. Sorry about the inconvenience! I'm available on nearly all social platforms, and via email. Happy to send a link to any digital files you need if scanning a QR code is an issue. (you're here on itch, so you seem to have found the right place!) We used to host the digital files on our own site, but there were way to many tech issues with that, many folks couldn't find the links, the downloads wouldn't work, and so on. We saw it best to let itch handle the hosting, and put a code in the physical books. What's great about a QR code is we can make sure everyone who purchases a physical copy gets access to the digital files no matter who or where the books are sold. We don't have to rely on every bookstore who carries this game to have to host the digital files if they even offer that service. Most physical books out in the world don't include the digital files, so we think of that as a bonus, but I completely understand your frustration. 7 billion out of 8 billion people appear to have access to a smartphone, according to a few sources, so we felt it was safe to use a QR in the book. Again, sorry for any inconvenience!
