Seems like a great game.

The DLC is coming on their 5th anniversary, and apparently they haven't changed much to an already good recipe. I'll definitely try the demo of the original (which is even on GOG).

This is interesting timing, the base game is next up in my queue, though I'm not quite ready for it yet. Nice to see there'll be more if I enjoy it.
