Buying and unlocking

Click Get the game on the site or in the game. Checkout is run by Dodo Payments. Enter code EARLYBIRD for 50% off.
Pay. You land back in the game and the full game unlocks on its own. No restart needed.
Check your email: Dodo Payments sends your license key, and we send a thank-you note. Keep the key.

Playing on another computer or browser

Easiest: sign in. Open the game, go to Settings → Cloud save, and choose Continue with Google or Email me a code. Use the same email you bought with. The full game unlocks and your cave comes with you.

Or use your key. In the game, click Get the full game, paste the key under Already bought?, and press Activate. One key works in up to 3 browsers.

Bought with a different email?

Sign in with any email, then activate your key once on that browser. The key is attached to your account from then on, so every browser you sign in on unlocks.

It didn't unlock

Reload the page once. The unlock check runs when the game starts.
Paste the key from the Dodo Payments email under Already bought?. Copy it exactly, without spaces.
"Device limit reached" means the key is active in 3 browsers. Sign in instead: accounts have no device limit.
Still stuck? Press F7 in the game to send a report straight to the developer, ask in #help-and-bugs on the Mancave Discord, or email the address below.

Saves

Your cave saves automatically, on this device and to our servers. Signed in, it follows your account. Signed out, Settings → Cloud save shows a save code you can paste into another browser.

Refunds

Refunds go through Dodo Payments, who handled the checkout. A refunded purchase locks the full game again; your cave and the demo stay.
