If you haven't already - don't forget to add this game to your Steam library as a non-Steam game, and use the Library to launch.

This way you're hooked into Steam's new "Broadcasts" streaming feature and your Friends can drop in, or you can invite them, to come watch you play.

I had a friend drop in on my play session last night - he had already heard a little about the game but had never watched anyone play, and he really liked what he saw - he was able to ask questions and have them answered immediately - and he has probably already purchased the game.

Word of mouth peeps! It's golden!

Thats a great idea and I wish i thought of it myself !

I actually forgot to launch thru Steam last night, then remembered and logged off then back in thru Steam - not 15 minutes later somebody dropped in to watch me play.

This is a very good question (NOT) - and the answer is: "Then this thread is not for you "

Adding an IMPORTANT note here - if you launch the game through Steam be aware there is a potential problem that many other Steam games encounter - when you Shift-Tab to bring up the Steam overlay, then go back to the game, the game may think you still have Shift depressed. This will lead to clicks and key commands not working properly.

EASY FIX though, just tap Shift once to break the evil spell.
