Does this have a preload on gog?
I have a key coming from the kickstarter and it wont arrive until later on in the day and I'd like to play right away when the game opens.
Also does the game unlock at midnight and what timezone?

Some people report receiving the retail package already. Since the game is on disc, they probably have already started playing...

GOG store page is clear: "Game is playable at 06/18/2019. Even if you have the code, you won't be able to play, until that time. I am a 60$ tier backer and i have yet to receive the code.

In my library, it now has a countdown... It won't be available until 5 pm where I live (U.S. Eastern Time). I don't see any option to pre-load so far.

Angel Corlux has confirmed that Steam will have a PRELOAD. And that those who backed the game up, will receive the Steam activation code TODAY.

No word about GOG, though... I hope we are still getting our game here, DRM-Free, at least... Unlike that Curse of the Moon cheating/steal, before.

@kjembach Countdown? Mine doesn't have one. Or is it buried somewhere?

I looked at steam and they are seeing a sale notice with preload now. However they aren't able to preload and from the twitter it shows:
