Beware of shady practices
This game was kickstarted under the promise of delivering to Windows/Mac/Linux. Four years later, and at the last minute, the studio mysteriously dropped Mac/Linux support with almost no explanation other than some hand-waving "middleware" excuse. Worse yet, they did not offer refunds to those that backed with the following explanation: "[...] refunds for Kickstarter projects come out of the pool of funds initially raised by backers. As per the KS terms of use, if an element of a project cannot be completed and there are funds remaining, a refund should be offered. In this instance, the initial funding for the project has been expended on development. Our current progress towards launch is due to additional funding from the publisher, 505 Games." Instead of mustering some courage to offer refunds to those that explicitly backed the game only for the Mac or Linux ports they brought a technicality that they 'spent all the backer money already'. This behavior of promising platform support only to remove this promise a few months before release is nothing short of shameful. Read the announcement in which the platform support drop is mentioned as an afterthought here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/posts/2368304
