Update Info for our webstore customers: To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. Updates always contain all the changes from previous updates. Saved games are compatible between different versions.

!!!Attention!!! Because we have switched our webshop recently, please make sure that you download the correct setup file. If you bought prior to June 20, you most likely bought in the eSellerate store, after that date in the FastSpring store!

Here's a PC installer (eSellerate) that installs into a single folder, which is useful for external HDs for example. Or for creating a second test install of the game, so you can try the patch out without the risk of messing up your main install of the game if something is wrong in the patch:
