Depending on how savvy you feel, you could try popping open another PC (if you have one that the hard drive would fit in) and switching the drives temporarily (just to move the data off).
Sik is right though -- hard drives Do die, but it's rare. You should be able to recover your data pretty easily.
I like to prioritize supporting indie devs that don't string along their supporters, so this was an easy buy for me.
There isn't a ton of content yet (v0.1) but the "quality over quantity" approach with CoM really helps it stand above other games of its kind, at least for me. The graphics are crazy good and I'm really looking forward to seeing the mystery aspects of the game develop in future versions!
Bonus points for building all of the content from scratch instead of just using HoneySelect characters and premade sounds!
