So is this release a cart only, or does it come with some sort of manual and a box? I couldn't find anything about that on the web site.

I just can't put in a pre-order without any real tangible information about the game. There's not even a single screenshot.

The game comes with instructions but no box.

To maintain the integrity of the TooManyGames exclusive release on May 3rd, all screens are being withheld for now.
However I can forward any questions you have for the developer.

This is understandable. The preorder was set up to accommodate interested parties who are not able to attend TooManyGames. As soon as the game is released more information will be available.

That's absurd. How would making some sample screens available have any impact on the exclusivity of the May 3rd release? This seems like a red flag that the game is not so good.

Okay, great point. I made a few phone calls and got approval to post this Prehistoric Times screen:

Thank god you told us; I've been waking up in the middle night in a cold sweat, screaming, because I couldn't find out.
