WHAT THE BUTTON INSTALLS

Steam delivers the real base application

The verified listing identifies infiniteloop as developer and publisher and uses Steam App ID 3301060. Steam supplies the correct build for a supported platform, manages updates, and offers file verification.

The base application is free to play. Official character DLC is a separate product decision, while community tools and model replacements follow their own author sources and can require loaders.

Install the Steam client from Valve or use the store page first if the custom Steam protocol does not open.

SAFE DOWNLOAD CHECK

Verify the source before installing

  1. Confirm the destination is Steam or infiniteloop's official Desktop Mate site.
  2. Check that the Steam listing shows App ID 3301060 and names infiniteloop as developer and publisher.
  3. Match the live platform requirements to your computer before selecting Install.
  4. Open the base app once without DLC unlockers, avatar loaders, or model replacements.
  5. Use a documented original author route for every community mod.

AFTER THE BASE INSTALL

Choose DLC or a community mod deliberately

Licensed character DLC is distributed through Steam. A community mod may add a model, loader, chat feature, visibility control, or another behavior, but it is not automatically current, endorsed, or licensed for redistribution.

Use the visual mod catalog to see a real preview, status, original author, requirements, and removal guidance on a separate page for every documented project.
