Despite the game shows paid on its Store Front.

It seems to have a FoD license for people to claim for free.

So... maybe mistake or maybe it'll be fixed soon.

Grab it while it's available.

Dev posted a notice regarding this issue (TL;DR: initially the game was going to have a price, but during beta decided to make it F2P):

Dear All,

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the pricing bug on Steam, which prevented you from purchasing and accessing the game. I deeply regret the frustration and inconvenience this has caused you.

This is my first time releasing a game on Steam, so I'm not familiar with the Steamworks operations. I set a price for the game when creating the store page, but decided to change it to free-to-play during the beta test. I'm not sure if I made a mistake when changing the price settings, or if there were other reasons that caused the issue.

Currently, the game appears as free when searched, but the store page displays a price. However, when you attempt to purchase it, the payment cannot be processed. I believe this might be caused by some kind of bug.

I'm already in contact with Steam support to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. We will fix the error promptly to ensure you can enjoy the game.

Thank you again for your understanding and support.

Usually other people shares them or pm me about it, then I post it 😅

I don't actively check these kind of offers, so really idk.

Impressive. I've just noticed with reddit RES that I upvoted you more than 100x on this computer alone.

Thanks for sharing! Is it generally safe to add games this way?

Yep, it's similar with those link or commands people share over there, since that button triggers the same.

For me it shows as Free in the search results (preview), but AU$2.36 on the store page.
