So I heard back from the Studio Regarding keys. They said that you will get them for humble but not for GOG :<

Yikes! I take it that the Humble keys that backers received do include a DRM-free download?

Yeah, of course, we have a DRM-free version. Though we do not have a GoG version, which is logical, as they didn't say anything about GOG.
Anyway, is there any way for us GOG users to also get a GOG version? With that GOG galaxy thing, I'd love to have it there too.

Did Krillbite mention anywhere why they can't provide GOG keys?
While the campaign never promised any GOG keys, they apparently tried to provide them. They commented:
"Yeah, GOG's great! Unfortunately it have not worked out getting GOG onto Humble though, but we're still checking the possibilities!"
And a few days later:
"I am afraid we're not able to provide GOG codes."
I would really like to know where the problem was. If the problem is that GOG's terms are unreasonable compared to Humble or that they simply didn't want to be bothered with providing keys, I'm not sure if I want to back more games on Kickstarter. I hope that Torment will be able provide GOG keys.
And the version up on Humble is only version 1.0.0 which has a very annoying graphics bug that has apparently been fixed in 1.0.1 (according to patch notes). So, GOG already has the patched version and as a backer I only get the 1.0.0 from Humble ... thank you Krillbite :(.

Regardless, here's a quote from Judas (from the time of the Tesla Effect release, which caused quite a stir, since the developer had, as it seemed at that time, arbitrarily decided that the Steam version will have to be DRM-free enough for backers) regarding how gog handles giving out keys to devs/publishers. If it really is as simple as Judas makes it out in that post, I think that Krillbite might consider giving keys at least to those backers who either specifically ask for them or who are willing to turn in their Steam key in exchange (which might be complicated, as that one is in turn tied to Humble.
