How to get the game on multiple platforms?

Post by burntPancake »

Hi fellows,

I met this game yesterday and after some investigation I found that I'm in love with this game. That's why I bought the whole 3 games in mac app store. Also there is a discount there on book 3. I haven't played 2 or 3 yet.

Now since the game operates on both unix and windows and I switch between win8, mac and arch constantly, I'd like to see how do I get this game code on other platforms? I found no such information anywhere.

You can download all three versions direct from Basilisk Games:

You will need a registration code to unlock the game, though, which I believe you don't have if you bought through the app store. I vaguely remember BW talking about the possibility of providing registration codes on request for people who had bought through other channels, but now I can't find anything so I might be making that up.

Thank you! The on request thing sounds promising. Let's see if BW replies to this post or not.

It would be better to send him an email. Otherwise he might miss your request.

He possibly discovered them on the AppStore. Discovery is a good thing wherever it happens.
