As someone who wants to go into the game fresh and without playing the demo, what exactly is the interactive sales pitch?

Instead of a 'start mission' button, it's replaced with 'buy game' at the end of the demo. Your character can talk to the person giving him the mission, who says stuff like 'oh no, now you can't play over 15 unique missions of intrigue and mystery, I wonder how this happened'.

It's running really poorly on steam for me. Otherwise great game.

So poorly that I'm honestly not playing it in hope they fix it. Insane lag.

Great game, buy it, but it may not be playable.

I am rather impressed with this thread and not saying this game is a cross between Dwarf Fortress and Spycraft or something along those lines.

NO SPOILERS

As the OP I have certain implied powers, and I'm going to use one of them:

NO SPOILERS

Any plot related spoilers or anything that would game the game less fun to a newcomer must be in a spoiler tag
Spoiler: like this (click to show/hide)
You must explain outside of, or as the header of the spoiler tag what it is you're spoiling. Try to include how far into the game it is.

Example:

Quote from: Gunpoint Fan
Wow, it was really cool when (around 15 levels in)
Spoiler: Plot spoiler (click to show/hide)

If spoiling gets out of hand, I'm going to have to contact contact The Toads or lock the thread.

If Nyquil isn't meant to be abused, then why does it come with a shot glass?

I checked into this after seeing your post. It seems a small number of people(3 on the steam forums) are experiencing this problem so far. It seems to be somewhat random. What are your specs? Also, I would suggest shooting an email to the dev.

And my screen is running 1920 x 1080 which might be causing some of the issues based on stalking their twitter.

Shot him an email, hopefully there will be a quick resolution.

I'd like to ask something from our American posters. Does steam tell you the game costs $9? Because it's trying to sell it to me for ~$11.77, and I'm feeling cheated, after creator's site told me it would be $9. (not that I don't think this game is worth $10-15, but I don't like being lied to).

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

American, and yeah, 9 dollars. However, Steam might be figuring in some sort of tax applicable to your area?

I am also running that resolution and operating system. My CPU is a bit more capable, but I doubt that's the issue as it's only using a very small percentage. May I ask what graphics card? Is it an ati?

We don't have sales tax, and even with VAT (which doesn't apply for stuff I bought in the US, but maybe the developer is local?) it should only be $10.89, it is instead €8.99 (around $11.70-11.95, depending on who's doing your conversion, Google claims it to be $11.77)

Steam likes to do a "Not American" tax.

I believe you can buy the game from the website for $9, but it's only available through PayPal/Amazon/Buy with Google.
