What counts as official here

The store page, Steam announcements, the publisher’s own news posts, replies on the Steam forum from Toplitz and studio accounts, and videos on the Toplitz Productions channel. Forum threads above include player questions that a Toplitz reply answered; creator videos recorded before launch are used only for what they show on screen, and pages say so where they rely on one.

How to check any of it yourself

The Steam record is readable without an account: the app details endpoint returns the price, the platform flags, the supported languages and the system requirements, and the news endpoint returns every announcement in full. Both take the appid 3222640. The platform board and system requirements are read from there.

Found something wrong?

Say which page and which sentence and it will be checked against the source and corrected. Corrections that change a fact get an entry in the update log.
