Funny world

Came here to post the same thing. What an utterly bizarre decision.

I thought it had to be a listing error, but no...

Check now. There is a separate DLC that has the artbook and manual.

I agree with this. You buy the game and you have to buy the manual separately. Yeah, kind of cooled me on this game.

Seriously, this makes no sense. Plenty of games just don't have manuals, and that's fine, but to have one just to charge extra money for it? This may be petty but this actually made my decision to not get this game

Charging extra for the manual is simply a bizarre decision, regardless of how we end up paying for it. The artbook is one thing, but the manual should come free with the game, like with every game going back to the beginning of time.

I want to support the developer, but not like this.
