I have the game on Steam and saw that it was added to 2.8.0 and so I tried adding it, but ScummVM asks me to pick Technobabylon or Unknown AGS game, and then gave me this error, hence I'm submitting it. It seems to launch and run ok if I choose to add it despite the error?

Hi, thanks for the report!

The "unknown variant" message is not really an error, it means that your game datafiles are a different (most likely, newer) version which was not in ScummVM's detection tables at the time of release.
This is exactly the issue, since many Wadjet games have been updated lately (after release 2.8.0).

The game should work fine with the "fallback" detection, however if you want you can download a daily build https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/dailybuilds of version 2.8.1 or 2.9.0 which contain the updated entries.
