For the price of free it still seems worth giving it a go, good to go in with low expectations though

Does that work? I always assumed games with DRM wouldn't work if they couldn't authenticate to your Steam account.

FYI if seems you can access older versions of Steam games, it's just a bit hacky

OK, just making sure you're aware that the reason everyone is talking about gatcha games is because they're the ones that you brought up!

Decades have passed and the Actress, Ella, returns to the abandoned theater to uncover a preserved collection of extraordinary performances. Explore a variety of magical, hand-painted worlds as you collect the lost pieces of the past.

When they were young, the Actress and the Director were full of dreams and ambitions. Decades later, the Actress returns to the theater, to once more become the performer, the audience, and the muse.

With each play you will explore a new, incredible scenography, fully painted in VR. Each performance tells the story of different characters, with individual gameplay mechanics and a unique closure.

To separate the performances from the real world and put the stress on their artistic nature, we decided to reach for new, creative methods of graphic design. The plays' segments of the game are painted using virtual reality technology. Exchanging traditional 3D modeling for painterly strokes and splatters granted us more expressive freedom in shaping the artistic vision of the Director.
