I had the most difficult time with the Pug&Duck site. It kept bouncing back and forth between German and English and only partially at that. I think it recognized my IP as a U.S. one. It seemed to me the English translation, which isn't complete for the whole page, relies on Google Translate, which usually doesn't do that bad a job translating German to English. But if you try to pull the site up in German (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.), which still recognized my IP as U.S., and then try to navigate to the VM game through the top links (You are not allowed to view links.

Koen: Is their German text any better than their English?
One can only hope by the time they actually release the game, their English pages are better. And that they market the game better with more images and more details, like box contents, like one of their other games. $71.00 U.S. is a lot for a game though. When I Googled them, I also saw results indicating they had a Kickstarter campaign for one of their other products. And if you look at their other two games on their site, each is the same price as this one, both are also pre-order, and one notes the Kickstarter campaign towards the bottom. The pre-order price for these games may be their way of offsetting startup costs. We should all probably just wait and see when the game is actually released.
Assuming, that is, the game itself isn't a hoax or gets cancelled. That 404 error code page has me thinking it just might.
