Quick question - the Shelter 2 pre-order was supposed to include "an exclusive skin". Is this part of the base game now? I don't have any kind of add-on content except the soundtrack.

I am not sure about all the details about that offhand but I'll see what I can find out :)

Thank you! I've not installed the game yet, but even if I did I'm not sure what I'd have to look for to know I had it. :)

Curious about this as well.

I received a PM from a GOG staff member. The skin is not part of the installer, nor is it provided yet as part of the downloads. Apparently there is something about the file which makes it problematic to provide through the current GOG account structure. They provided me with an altered executable that contains the skin, but hopefully they will work it out so that everyone who pre-ordered will be able to download the promised content.

Wow, thanks for the update, IAmSinistar. They should really put you on the pay-roll. I haven't played it yet either because I was waiting for a patch or 2 as I do with all new games (I didn't receive an update notification that there was a new installer either, I just happened to check.) That's pretty fucked that they advertised a skin and then didn't provide it. That is why I pre-ordered and blew my gaming budget for 6+ months. I'm going to wait a bit more before I contact them and see if they do anything on their own or if I have to request the altered installer too.

They should let us know when they've provided the standalone patch for the exclusive pre-order content. But if the wait drags on, let me know and I'll PM you the name of the GOG Lord who provide me the patch. That's assuming they're not already reading this and taking care of it themselves. :)

Sounds good! Thanks again!
Hiya! Im really new to GOG so I may be doing something simple wrong... but I have downloaded all the most recent updates and I still haven't got any of the changes- definitely can't see any options for hard mode (has that even been released on GOG?). I have read loads of posts but can't find a solution :P
So, how about that update for the skins?
Yes,me too i'm waiting for my pre-order skin...
Any news soon?

JudasIscariot: Hi all,
Posting this here, since apparently I need rep before asking a question on my own.

So I just saw the Shelter-series being on sale and gog, as usual, offers to buy the entire series in a bundle.

However I noticed that it apparently offers Shelter 2 twice: The basic game and the Special Edition:

https://www.gog.com/promo/special_promo_shelter_games_240316

Now I'm aware that with some games gog offers the upgrade to a special edition seperately but this doesn't seem to be the case here, especially since the Special Edition costs more than the base game.

So I was wondering whether I was missing something here or whether this is a glitch of the site, trying to sell me the same game twice.

Thanks in advance

I'll have to ask about this but it may take time since it's almost midnight on a Friday night and sales are not something I know all that well myself :)
