Campaign Cancelled
To Our Backers,
Due to ongoing legal issues and noncompliance by the circle, SRL, we regret to inform everyone that we must cancel this campaign. While due diligence was made to make sure that all aspects of the Kickstarter campaign were fulfilled, in the end the great financial loss and damage to our reputation was too much.
It was also discovered that SRL engaged in stealth marketing tactics using paid reviews which violates Steam's Terms of Service. At that point, we had no choice but to terminate our relationship with SRL.
Refunds will be offered for undelivered physical copies of the game. Please email
[email protected] with the subject "WAS Backer - Physical Refund" and in the body of the text please include your paypal address.
Whatever physical products that were made will still be shipped to backers. More details will be made available once fulfillment begins.
Regarding the shikishi, unfortunately, requests to SRL to make sure that there were enough shikishi for the backers was unfulfilled.Thus we will be also offering refunds for the shikishi as well.
Circumstances beyond our control prevented us from better informing everyone of what was going on as it serves no one any good to speak negatively about the developer. Nevertheless, we at Sekai Project want to extend a sincere apology to everyone affected.
The Hourglass of Lepidoptera will be removed from Steam as soon as possible. However, those of you who already have a Steam key will still be able to keep your copy of the game.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
