I was wondering what is happening with the itch members like me that paid the £5 or £15 already on here for the extra money upgrades before itch stopped your payment method options, will we all get a patch available just for us paid members that will upgrade us to version 19.5 without paying any extra? or do we all have to pay again for the steam version on windows?

Personaly i paid the extra £5 for the extra content but I feel extra sorry for everybody that paid more if they have to pay twice.

I did buy it again on steam as I had no other option if I wanted to find out what was going on with the story.  :o)

Same here.  Just saw it's up to 19 but I don't have an option to download, and I paid the $5USD a year ago.  Confused how it works...

Close to two years ago, I put out updates on Itch and treated it like Patreon, which was communicated on the Itch page. Several games (many popular ones) do this on this website even to this day.

Ever since I launched on Steam (Oct 2023), I've been selling the game as a one-time purchase. If you've spent $15 on an Elysium version on Itch at any point (back before Steam it was $20), you'll have access to the files now. No additional purchases are necessary.

Back then I used to sell the Endurance version, which was $5. It was missing, at this point, close to 15 scenes. I'm not selling that version anymore.
