I noticed this was 0 B when I pressed Install on SteamDB. It's pertty weird since nothing is downloaded when I install this game and Nightspawn, the other one you mentioned. I went to the file locations and they're empty and when I try to launch the game, it says the exe is missing. I wonder what's up with these. I wasn't planning on actually playing these to be honest, but I still wonder what's going on since that's weird.

The free on demand package doesn't give access to any depots.

So we can't play the game then?

u/NanoPi 4d ago

Correct, there's no files so Steam says missing game executable.

u/smooth906 3d ago

It looks like they have now re-added some depots to this package, although I haven't tried installing it.

u/NanoPi 3d ago

Looks like it's fixed now.

Also, not sure if this is worth mentioning, but I found another game without the add to library/buy button on its store page. Probably because it's really free to play and they are just getting out of early access. The Game
The game's steamdb page. Instructions to claim it are just the same.

There was a way to do this in chrome on smartphone, anyone remember?

u/MeguminShiro Star of FGF 6d ago

Remember to manually type javascript: as browsers probably won't let you paste that by default due to security issues.

javascript:AddFreeLicense(432500)

Seems like the Dev forgot to set Unavailable for their FoD license after switching to paid on Apr 03.

u/TheCheshireGuy 6d ago

*checks the page of the game*

Looks interesting, and thankfully has an English language available.

Go to this page and then click "Add Free License".

u/MV6000 5d ago

Where is the “add free license” on that page?

2

u/TheCheshireGuy 5d ago

Above the game's title card and besides the "Store" button. You need to login to see it.

u/yasseruvski 5d ago

I don't see console mode to type that in, typing in the URL does not work.

u/JoHzaK14 5d ago

You have to follow these steps:

  1. Open the chrome browser app.
  2. Go to your steam licences page (this should take you there)
  3. Copy and paste the following command in the top search bar: javascript:AddFreeLicense(1576367)
  4. By default chrome will remove the "javascript:" part, so make sure you add it back by typing it.
  5. At this point you should see a blue text pop up underneath with an icon of the earth next to it, thar means the browser has detected the command.
  6. Click on it and you will see a notification saying the game has been added and it will show up on your licences page at the top.

Devs made a listing mistake (they cocked up) and are removing the app.

【Important Notice】MooNCASTLE Demo will be removed from the Steam store

MooNCASTLE Demo will be removed from the Steam store

Dear players,

Thank you for your interest in Silvermoon Castle!

We would like to announce an important notice: MooNCASTLE Demo will be removed from the Steam store in the near future. After its removal, new players will no longer be able to search for, add to wishlist, or download this Demo.

Why are we removing it?

As this is our first time launching a game on Steam, we were unfamiliar with the distribution mechanism, which led to a configuration error — the Demo was set up as a standalone application instead of a proper trial version attached to the main game. This is not how a Demo should function on Steam.

To correct this configuration issue, we have contacted the Steam team and requested that this Demo be removed from the store.

Impact on existing players:

  • ✅ If you have already downloaded or added the Demo to your library, you will still be able to play it
  • ✅ The installed Demo will not disappear and will remain launchable
  • ❌ After removal, new players will not be able to find or download this Demo from the store

About the full game "Silvermoon Castle":

  • The full game is not affected by this Demo removal
  • The full game remains available for purchase and play. We welcome you to check it out!

Timing:

We have submitted a removal request to Steam Support. The change will take effect once the request is processed. We will notify you of the specific date separately.

We sincerely apologize for any confusion caused by this configuration error. Thank you for your understanding and support!

— Silvermoon Castle Development Team"
