How does merging accounts work?

[чудесный жук]

I've been trying to merge my PC and phone accounts for the longest time now and it always tells me "an error 1 occured", and at this point i'm wondering:
1) does it erase data of account sending the code, or account receiving the code?
2) does it work at all for anyone else? Is it just me who's unable to merge accounts? It's been long enough to fix things i think, maybe i'm doing something wrong?

1. just create account in your phone ( re roll if as much possible because take 1 minute less to re roll to create your dream account ).
2. after you get your dream account bind to google account and then Merging options appear.
3. in your phone go to options then use " send Merge account " to get id and pass.
4. open your Steam Limbus Company go to option use " merge code input " input your id and pass you get from your phone " into steam merge code input "
5. done profit.
6. do not double merge account. some people get error.
7. if you want to play in the phone again do not re merge to phone, JUST LOGIN WITH GOOGLE ACCOUNT. some people re merge then create error.

You have to choose between a PC account and phone account

What If I made a guest account and it doesn't link to Google? It's my phone account that I want to link to my steam one.

how could you even interpret it that way... the message says you have to choose one, you concluded that it means you get to combine both somehow

you stoopid
