Steam and Patreon with Hunt and Snare

Hunt and Snare is primarily developed through funding on Patreon. Steam Early Access on it's own does not support the development itself (generally Early Access is just a fraction of a fraction of what full games can sell on Steam), but rather allows us to contract work from outside the core team (e.g. a dedicated writer, 2D artist, level designer, sounds and music from a composer, and so forth).

While Steam and Patreon builds are identical to each other, the unstable early builds (Gold Cohort or above) are released 2 weeks prior the main release. The unstable builds are also downloadable via Steam through a Betas key.

Raw explanation:

• Patreon and Steam build: Always up to date and the newest stable build.
• Unstable build:  This is a testing build released 2 weeks prior Patreon and Steam release. It is unstable and may contain unexpected bugs and jinks. Downloadable on ItchIo or Steam via Betas key.

Accessing the Unstable build on Steam

Each Hunt and Snare Unstable release comes with a Steam “beta password” (sent to Gold Cohorts and above). This will allow you to download the Unstable Patreon release on Steam if you own the game on Steam. It is a fairly straightforward process.

Once you have bought Hunt and Snare on Steam, you can right click on the Hunt and Snare name in your 'LIBRARY', select 'Properties', click the 'BETAS' tab, paste the password into the 'Enter beta access code to unlock private betas' field, and then click 'Check Code'. If the code is correct, the drop down menu will now have the new Unstable build. Once selected, Steam will automatically update Hunt and Snare's Unstable build for you.

Raw explanation:

• Right click on 'Hunt and Snare' in your Steam 'LIBRARY' and click Properties: This will open up a new dialog to change some settings related to Steam and Hunt and Snare.
• Click the 'BETAS' tab on top of the Hunt and Snare properties: This will allow you to opt into specific Unstable builds on the day they’re released. You can also opt out of Hunt and Snare “beta” releases here, and just wait for the main Steam release(s).
• Paste Steam “beta password” into the field and click 'CHECK CODE': The Steam “beta password” will be included in every new Unstable build post on Patreon.
• Click on the drop down box and select the newest build: Steam will now switch your build to match the Unstable build you used the Steam “beta password” from.
• To switch back to the main Steam build: Go to the same drop down box in the 'BETAS' tab, and select 'NONE'. Your build will now update automatically with the regular Steam releases.

Censoring on Steam

Hunt and Snare, is not censored anywhere in game. The version on Steam is just as uncensored and porny as the Patreon version.

There are no uncensor patches nor any fiddling with files required.

Raw explanation:

• Steam build: The Steam build is fully uncensored.

Can I somehow hide what I'm playing on Steam?

Sadly not. This is a feature that has been requested by many over the years, but Valve hasn't allowed it. Maybe one day Valve will allow that on Steam, but today is not the day. Fear not!

For here is a solution and option!

You can create a new account on Steam for free, and then use that account to store your adult games (such as Hunt and Snare) hidden away from your family and friends! Steam allows you to quite easily switch between accounts, and purchase NSFW games on the safe account.

Changing between accounts, once you have your NSFW account, is done via the Steam Client and from the top menu. Click Steam and then Change Account... from the sub menu <3
