Purchasing the game; requirements?

Post by T-Brick »

Hello, I was looking into purchasing the game. The buy button has 3 options; GOG & Steam are two of them. I believe those both are game clients that you need to have an Internet connection and the client running in order to play your games; I would not like to use those options if that is the case.

However, the 3rd option says it has a 'stand alone loader' or something like that. Does that mean if I buy direct from you, that I can play on my computer without having a permanent Internet connection and I won't need to have some external 3rd party program running in order to play your game?

If I can play offline and no 3rd party programs, then do I pay on-line and download the game?

Thank you for your forthcoming answers.

Buying directly from Almost Human OR GOG will give you what you want. GOG is a no-client, DRM free way to play games.

And yes you pay online and download the game. It is also worth noting there is a problem with GOG's version of the game at the moment (Minor error for some, major error for me) so if you want it RIGHT now you'd probably be best buying directly from Almost Human.

Buying directly from Almost Human will score you a Steam key and a standalone installer. The standalone installer is delivered via Humble Bundle url which you can bookmark for later use.

Like Bek said, GOG doesn't require any extra programs although they do have a GOG Downloader program which is nice for queuing up installs.
