game key generates error when redeeming

The product code you've entered requires ownership of another product before activation.

If you are trying to activate an expansion pack or downloadable content, please first activate the original game, then activate this additional content.
SteamDB - Install - The Barbarian and the Subterranean Caves

Hello!
Probably you'll need to run Non-Linear Text Quests first. It is our FREE game on Steam.

Most probably, this error message is generated because the key for The Barbarian and the Subterranean Caves actually gives you ownership for two games at once:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/490690/The_Barbarian_and_the_Subterranean_Caves/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1162210/NonLinear_Text_Quests__The_Barbarian_and_the_Subterranean_Caves/
But the second game is the DLC for Non-Linear Text Quests, and the base game is not activated on your account. Just install and run Non-Linear Text Quests, I think that should help.
Please tell me, whether this solution helped or not.

the key was for The Barbarian and the Subterranean Caves which doesn't need ownership of anything else though surely.

EDIT sorry for some reason the text in between your post was not visible. I'll try what you suggest

Just stumbled upon this problem now, and the solution worked (not even need to install it, just prompt the download dialog). Thanks.
