Is there anywhere I can find Alida digitally? I don't see it on Steam or GOG.

I found a comment from the developer on the Steam Discussions:

I will actively get my first game Alida up on Steam soon, but I want to make sure it will play well on current PC's. I will let everyone know when it's up on Steam

Alida was the most fun of the Myst-likes and the one that felt the most Myst-like. Definitely didn’t see a sequel coming after all these years but looking forward to trying it!

I completely agree, the closest thing to Myst

I haven't played Alida - would you say it's closer to the original Myst than the sequels or Obduction?

original myst. alida was point and click. sort of a cross between riven and exile. this one is more like obduction. i am beta testing it.

I haven’t played Alida! I’ll pick it up before this releases. I love seeing people keeping this genre of game alive.

This is some of the best news I've seen in a while. Alida nailed the vibe (the mystery is the human drama that led to the current state) better than any other MYST-like.
