As promised in the last patch, the rest of the story and quests are here. Sorry, these were not supposed to be available to demo players, so that has been removed.

0.14.9.0 To start, the nosteamworks depot has been removed and merged with the normal default depot. There was a bug that was causing the game to stay running in the background rarely if run through steam, and I believe this should at least help fix it.
