Where to download expansions?
I know this is dumb, but I just can't seem to find where to get expansions like Lifeblood, Grimm Troupe, and Godmaster. Help?

They are automatically part of the game, you don't need to download them specially.

Ever thought what the (up to) four symbols in the lower left part of the title screen mean? They indicate the already installed expansions.

Pink dreamwheel: Hidden Dreams
Red mask: Grim Troupe
Blue lifeblood bug: Lifeblood
Orange shell/crystal: Godmaster

Ok, so they're just like updates to the game rather than DLC?

Well, anytime a game on steam has free DLC, its downloaded automatically anyway, so there really isn't a point to creating store pages for DLC that is free from the moment it launches. Besides, updates are still technically DownLoaded Content.

The term DLC is misleading. You hear DLC, you think content you need to pay for (or not in the case of free ones like Mass Effect 3 had for MP). They are really free game updates, but with enough content that they would be seen as DLC.

Ok, thank you all. Gods and Nightmares IS a paid DLC though, right?

Gods & Nightmares isn't a DLC at all. It's a soundtrack.

Oh wow, that's embarrassing. Anyway thanks for the help!

There are a couple of exceptions to this rule. Monster Hunter World will still ask you to go to the store page to opt into their freebies and it's made that way so that everyone who gets them will also be made aware of their money-locked cosmetics and gestures.
The original Skyrim release and Final Fantasy XV also have separate higher quality graphics packs. By not including them in the default install, users with weaker computers are able to save precious time and harddrive space on assets that they can't use.

Team Cherry just doesn't have a lot to gain from either of those approaches.

Don't worry, loads of people have been making that mistake.
