Steam Keys for itch buyers

[SendMoreCops]

I purchased this on itch some time back but have not been sent a steam key nor do I know how to get it. Anyone know what I need to do ?

Hi!

You won't be sent a Steam key per se. The dev uploads an arbitrary number of Steam keys to the itch.io project and users just claim their key whenever they want. All the keys are kept in a pool basically and are first come first serve.

That means at some point the keys run out and the dev must upload more. You start to see here it's a very manual system.

As for how to DL the Steam key from itch.io, check their docs:
"How to download the game, or get your activation key"
