addedThe soundtrack for Environmental Station Alpha has been nonfunctional for some time now without me realizing. The reason for this was that the OST was implemented back before Steam had a dedicated soundtrack feature; during those days the way to add an OST on Steam was to release it as DLC. When I converted the soundtrack DLC into a Steam soundtrack, I assumed that the actual audio files would stay around, but this actually wasn't the case and the conversion just wiped them entirely. I really should've noticed this; my apologies.
changedIt seems that the lossless FLAC files for the audio are currently stored on an external hard-drive; I'll put them available once I locate them, but for the time being you can listen to the MP3 files, at least.
fixedAs for the fixed version of the game itself, we've been working on that! Shouldn't be long now, but I'll be sure to drum the fixed release up a bit when it happens, so look forward to that.
