So it's "online" because it use sever to connect people like an MMO ,but there is only 7 people / server , and the interaction are very limited Therefore you don't lose much by not going online
Now I didn't download the game, so I don't know if you NEED to connect and create an account even tho' it's from IGG If you do: I don't think you would risk much since it's a really indy game with tiny server ( 7 people / server ) but I also don't know what they use (I've read it's not steam account) so if it doesn't ask you for your steam/bnet account , you shouldn't risk anything beside a ban on this newly created account (which you shouldn't give a fµck about since it's a random provider and not steam/bnet right ?)
Here, was just my 2 cents
Game looks really cool and remind me Kenshi in its conception (you create your character and then you can do whatever you want, no clear objectives, in an vast open world, stiff gameplay and graphic) Not for everyone
So I downloaded it and it seems you have to create an account in the game and log in through the game/server side. Not through steam. I guess I will just buy this game since it seems to be a bit too risky
I tried to use my Yahoo account, and I got the same error as you. When I used my Protonmail email address, it worked. Problem is I got a 'version mismatch' error when I tried to launch the game.
Seems the sign in credentials don't work if the game has been updated. I was able to set up an account, and when I try to launch the game it gives me a 'version mismatch' error. This looks pretty good, I hope they have a demo at some point, $30 is pretty steep.
