That is the Kickstarter rewards. This is a special promotion from the Woven developers, if you follow the instructions and email them after you pledge, you would be eligible for the extra rewards. :-) Devs have mentioned the promo may not last throughout the Kickstarter, and it will be first come, first serve. So make sure you get your emails in once you do back, if you do!
They will be live in an hour on Twitch, if you have any questions: https://www.twitch.tv/thewoventeam

Sad for them since it probably won't be funded.
And you won't get a 1€ key for full game as well.

Maybe - :-) But so far I like what I see from the devs.
No one will be charged if the Kickstarter isn't successful, but I hope we can reach it!

That's awesome! TY for your pledge and support ^_^

Ah - Thanks for sharing, I will include this information as well.
Here is some details of why this game is shown on Steam and why there is an approx. date of release (quoted from the devs).
"Unfortunately Steam forces us a launch date if we wanted to set our Pre-alpha demo online. That is why we have already set a "aproxx" date. The game is not finished, we need the kickstarter budget to be able to finish it! Steam approved our estimated launch time, because we needed to set out demo public. In the past developers were able to make a different demo store page, but this is not possible anymore."

Approx. 67,111 from the current pledges. (last time I viewed).
Hopefully some opt for the $16 Deluxe edition ;)

Sounds like bullshit to me. You can't give people the full game for a €1 donation because then it shits all over the other backers who pledged way more to get the same thing. So one way or another there is some dishonesty going on here somewhere.
Also, the $95,000 USD Kickstarter goal seems kind of low when it comes to a budget (at most only half of which seems to be going directly into the human resources part of development as per the pie chart), even if work is already partially done. It's not a lot when you are talking about a 3-man staff (in the Netherlands?) for a year (Steam store page estimates Oct 2017 release), plus it mentions (on Kickstarter) having to hire a narrator and sound designer. We have seen some pretty ugly examples of unscrupulous developers who have committed fraud, taking people's money and then running away, and then delivering either nothing or nowhere near what was promised. This is prime for potential abuse imo.

I hope that is not the case here :/ I understand the risks of Kickstarter though, having backed projects before. I seem to be a sucker when it comes to supporting indie devs, so I'll continue following them for a bit and hope it is genuine.

That's comparing apples to oranges. You are paying for a monthly subscription to a service there with Xbox Live Gold, and in order to keep access to a free copy of said game you have to maintain an active subscription.
Don't take this to mean that I am in any way defending Microsoft's (or Sony's) business model when it comes to their game consoles. I think it's horseshit that they force people to have to pay for online multiplayer in their games, something that has always been free on the PC side of things, and feel that the only place where it is even remotely acceptable is certain types of MMOs, but that's a whole other discussion.

You missed the point. The game got released September the first and although you backed the campaign with minimum 15$, you get the game straight at release for about 3$. Even before being published on the other platforms!
Imo this is an insult for all those that financed the campaign. Compare it to: you pre-order a game without being able to cancel and just when it's out, it's in a cheap bundle.
BTW you do not need to have a subscription. Just get the code (from 1 month) from another seller and it is not needed to cancel it.

So it's probably around $2 CDN that isn't terrible, and if it fails to be funded no harm done. On the other hand if they don't come through with the promise.... I will be forced to ask them politely for my key later on.

Oh yeah, definitely. When I heard about this promo for the first time, I verified it with the devs first and also made a clip of them confirming it was legitimate before pledging and believing this promo. I've clipped a video of them confirming, for proof:

I'm just passing along information I've found on a game -_- like I do a lot in many communities or social media. Of course I'm thanking someone who actually paid with money for something I posted about, I do appreciate it. I get passionate about games and supporting devs, that doesn't mean I'm associated with them.

I SEE you. Don't think that changing your username will get you out of chart making duty. :-D

I could have sworn that Kickstarter accepted Paypal, but I guess it does not. Sigh.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, that is odd because I thought I'd used PayPal in the past from projects I'd backed.
Sorry to hear about that.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think paypal doesn't support kickstart-like projects anymore because they had to refund lots of people in the past because of fraudulent/undelivered projets.
Comment has been collapsed.
And on top of it they don't accept Amazon Payments, either.

I pledged a euro to. Lets see :).
You can also get a alpha demo steam key now by completing the 2 tasks on the website btw ;)!

blinks Okay, definitely not awake yet. I thought this was Unravel at first.

Not sure why that would be, sorry. Could it be something to do with your email provider? Here is a copy of the email I received, which has a different email address to contact their team.
Thank you for pleding to our Kickstarter campaign!
We will contact you after the Kickstarter campaign is ended with further details regarding your steam key(s).
The Woven Team.

Okay, that's good to know :-) Hopefully anyone else having the same issue will be able to resolve it also.
Comment has been collapsed.
That seems to be it. I just tried again with my main mail account ant it bounced once more. I then tried with my Gmail and got the automated response right away.
I just hope they can match my pledge with that email address. I explained the situation in the message but I hope someone actually reads them and it's not all an automated process.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am worried about that happening also, that's why I wanted to promote it a little lol. I'm not sure what their team has planned if funding is not successful from the Kickstarter. Hopefully they will learn from this Kickstarter and how they can improve on it if they decide to try it again.

This campaign has ended, unsuccessfully, however the Woven team is still looking to make their project a success.
They're still trying to have a successful 'Plan B' in order to work on and release the game quicker. They spoke about it on their twitch channel the last day of the Kickstarter
