Thanks for bringing this us, and sorry for the long delay!

I've just flagged the binaries to be 64-bit compatible on Steam, so the problem should go away once the Steam servers refresh the store page.

Hi! The Druidstone level editor and modding tools are now available for beta testers. If you're interesting in modding Druidstone reply here and I will PM the details.

We get asked this questions quite often :) Druidstone is developed by Ctrl Alt Ninja, who share many people with Almost Human.
