Developer Alkimia Interactive confirmed that a mandatory download is required to play, effectively turning the physical release into a 'Game Key Disc.' While the studio emphasizes the importance of players having the most polished version available at launch, the decision highlights a growing industry trend that compromises long-term game preservation and frustrates users with limited internet access.
