I mentioned in my post a little over 12 hours ago that Carpe Fulgar’s translation of EasyGameStation’s parody JRPG Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale that we’d hopefully get some news on a pre-order situation over the next week or so, prior to the game’s September 10 release date. Turns out good news has arrived earlier than expected.

Valve and Carpe Fulgar revealed today in a joint announcement that the game will be distributed on Steam, with the digital distributor also carrying the only available pre-order discount for the title. We now know the game will run $20, and can be had for 10% off for those who purchase the title before its release on Steam, a savings of $2.

The game’s purchase page that had so little info yesterday has now been updated with direct links to the game’s Steam page as well as a GamersGate page, confirming that the game will see release across multiple distributors with Impulse’s logo still listed. Also worth noting is the lack of the phrase “subject to change” on the updated purchase page in regards to the September 10 release, pointing to the distributor’s confidence that the game will be ready to go at that time.
