Watch our videos if you need help getting one of the two games to start!
Download the .zip from itch.io and unzip the contents to a location of your choice. Afterawards you either start the game directly from the main directory of the game by double-clicking on the file engine.exe or alternatively, you could create a shortcut to the engine.exe file from a location of your choosing.
Download both the engine .zip and mod .zip from itch.io and begin by extracting the mod .zip to a location of your choosing. Once that has been completed, open up the engine .zip and open up the folder with the engine that fits you the best (DirectX9_64bit is recommended for modern PCs). Extract the contents of that folder to the main directory of the mod. Launch the game using maelstrom.exe or create a desktop shortcut by right-clicking on maelstrom.exe and sending it to your desktop.
