Fuck? ! There are some costly objects on the market on Steam, however most of them are {hardware}, such because the Valve Index VR headset and Steam Deck. You will not discover video games for the same value. That’s technically appropriate, since “The Hidden and Unknown” is dearer at $1,999. Even its creator warns towards shopping for it.
Created by indie developer ProX.workforce, by somebody who goes by the alias TheProfessional, The Hidden and Unknown is text-based and described as a “story-based sport designed to develop its viewers’s consciousness within the fields of psychology and philosophy”
PCGamer performed the title, noting that it begins with an eight-minute lengthy Star Wars-style reel that describes the imbalance between female and male energies that renders Western males infertile on account of depleted testosterone. It additionally prompted girls to turn out to be increasingly masculine, which might finally result in the tip of the human race. There’s additionally a time-traveling AI entity someplace.
The Hidden and Unknown is primarily a visible novel, although solely places are proven, not characters, and they seem like created utilizing an AI-powered picture generator.
In all equity, TheProfessional, who’s from Slovakia and now lives in Switzerland, did inform PCGamesN that they do not belief anybody to purchase their sport, and even need to “dissuade anybody from shopping for it if they cannot afford it, I do not need to trigger bother.” The two-hour playtime restrict for returning video games is way shorter, so anybody who decides to spend $2,000 on The Hidden and Unknown ought to have the ability to get their a reimbursement after they’re executed enjoying.
As for why they determined to cost a lot for his or her sport, TheProfessional says it is largely primarily based on their very own life tales. “I do not need to promote my life for a penny, for me this story is about greater than a pure ‘sport,'” they mentioned. TheProfessional added that the undertaking initially began as a guide earlier than it morphed right into a sport.
Charging $1,999 for a sport is certain to generate quite a lot of consideration for The Hidden and Unknown, so kudos to TheProfessional proved to be a intelligent advertising ploy. I have not performed it so cannot touch upon the standard, however from different opinions it feels like how a lot you like the sport could be measured by how a lot you like Andrew Tate.
