Questions

Is it really free?

It was. Very Realistic Game Dev Simulator was given away free on itch.io, DRM-Free, and that promotion has now ended. Publishers repeat giveaways, so this page stays up.

Do I keep it permanently?

Yes. Claim it before the deadline and it stays in your library for good, exactly like a game you bought. You do not need to download or play it straight away — adding it to your account is enough.

Where do I claim it?

On the official itch.io page. We link straight there — we never host game files or act as a middleman.
