Hey, folks! Sylphy here with some fantastic news! We've got some indie games to distract you on this hellnight: Iron Circus x INDIEPOCALYPSE is up and ready to roll! Some of you have already noticed and begun the download and we thank you for silently confirming for us that everything works! 

Thank you all again for backing this kit with us and being a part of bringing indie games to you! So get something refreshing and get ready for some good digital distractions! 👾

The digital rewards for the Iron Circus × INDIEPOCALYPSE project come in a few different basic types, and there’s a different way to download each one. (We know, it’s kinda weird. Platform limitations, you know?) Anyway, we’ll try and explain it all here.

All of the rewards are “digital downloads” in BackerKit terminology, and you can get to them from your Digital Downloads page on the site.

There are three different kinds of downloads, though!

Iron Circus Comics ebooks

If you bought any PDFs of Iron Circus books through the crowdfund, you can download them directly from the Digital Downloads page. There is a download button. You click it. You don’t really need this one explained, probably!

INDIEPOCALYPSE game bundles

So, all of the actual games have to be downloaded from itch.io, rather than BackerKit, because games are large. So instead of a download button, you’ve got an itch.io key URL.

Just copy that into your browser, and it’ll take you to itch.io. Then you’ll have to link the download to your itch.io account. If you haven’t already got one, you’ll have to make one. Yeah, kind of annoying, but it’s a cool site, and accounts are free! Anyway you can just download your games and delete your account, if you prefer.

INDIEPOCALYPSE zines

Finally, if you got the zine collection, then you’ll also be downloading that one from itch.io.

The difference here is that, instead of a key URL, it’s just a normal URL plus a password. Paster the URL into the browser, and it’ll take you to a password-locked itch.io page. Just give it the password from the Digital Downloads page. You won’t need an itch.io account for this one; you can just download the individual zine PDFs as you please.

Thanks for your patience, everybody! We’re new to this videogame distro stuff, and figuring it out as we go along.
