In case of you were feeling that urge to partake in the flavor of the month and don’t want to waste money, the linked thread already has the clean files and crack in multiple posts with multiple DL options.

Repeat after me: Our local Hexbear devs are the only ones that you shouldn’t steal from.

Hope y’all enjpy the free game. It’s like ark, but for people who value their time.

    When I release a video game, everyone here has my permission to steal it.

    I want to play this game because it’s fucking hilarious for a Brazilian, because “Pal” is pronounced just like “pau”, one of our words for dick. Going around collecting dick fluid is gonna be a blast

    Just some information about the cracked game.

    I’d recommend using the Goldberg steam emulator to play and make sure to change your account id to something other than the emulator default if you’re planning to play online otherwise you’ll have issues with other people playing cracked versions with the same emulated steam account id set if you connect to the same server at the same time.

    You can find this at: C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Goldberg SteamEmu Saves\settings

    To find the appdata folder press the windows button and type %appdata% then hit enter

    This game seemingly has no check about ownership post gamelaunch (bypassed with Goldberg + Steamless) so you can play on official servers with cracked game versions. This will probably change in the future so it may be worth sticking to user-hosted dedicated servers and I’d also be wary about auto-updating the server software because of changes in future ownership checks. I’d also apply that same “read before you update files approach” to the client as well for the same reasons.

    I have never been more confused by the popularity of a game. Adding guns to Pokemon just ruins the vibe. What do people see in this?

      I am biased bc monster catchers and survival games are my favorite genres, but it feels like the dev team was split in half on wether they wanted to make an actually decent monster catcher or just fill it with edgy jokes. The base building and automation mechanics are really fun, but I wouldn’t blame someone for being put off by the ““humor””

      I agree the whole exploitation aspect is grim, but I feel the tone indicates its not meant to be taken at face value. It’s like a cumtown bit as a game. except they made an actually good game underneath the “haha im so edgy + subversive” aspect that I totally understand if some feel goes too far.

        Yeah! I’m in two minds about it, I don’t like my first impression from the outside but am more than willing to be pleasantly surprised. So I’d love to hear some other peoples experience

    How do you run this on Linux? I have Lutris and tried running it as an installed game, set the executable to Palworld.exe, and when I press play it does nothing for a second then it seems like it crashes? Never opens a window. Haven’t set up any games from the high seas since I switched to Linux :/
