I'm experiencing the same thing. Trying to run the game through its store shop does nothing except make the steam window not close when I try to. I sent steam a message to see if they can resolve it.

Many seem to have that issue judging by the reviews, possibly could be YET ANOTHER game on Steam that doesn't actually have all the files it needs to launch:rofl2:

game wouldn't have a generally positive review if that was the case, and would've been fixed already since it released in 2015

You know patches can break games and that installing a game on Steam gets you the latest version even if broken, right? Anyways, we'll have to wait and see...

Also the same - Not starting but also NOT in Library.:(
Don't know about the not starting, but I'm pretty sure the no showing up in library is because whoever did the discount didn't do it properly and changed the actual price to free instead of making it a temporary drop and Steam doesn't show free-to-play games in library. That means once the promo ends and it goes back to proper price it will show up.

oh well
here's the steam id url
steam://rungameid/310560
if y'all wanna try it that way theoretically you should be able to install it this way if it's already in your library from editing another steam shortcut

The famous small print:

Restriction: Only while supplies last ....:angry:

When you go on the Steam site (not Logged in) on the Title it says this:

Sie können dieses Produkt kostenlos behalten, wenn Sie es sich bis zum 16. Sep. um 10:00 Uhr holen. Es gelten einige Einschränkungen. (?)<-------

Hello.:)

Today it is now in the Library and is downloading/installing now.
Thank you for your Help.:)
It's like how I said, they did the discount the wrong way, so it was considered free by Steam itself, that's why it didn't show up in libraries. Now if only we can get it to run:P

If you got it from Humble Bundle then you should be okay I think.

I got mine from Humble Bundle on August 30th and I can see mine on Steam as purchased, not free. I haven't tried to run it tho.
