The most expensive game of Steam is named The Hidden and Unknownand costs 1.949,09 euros. Does it include some revolutionary technology or concept that is going to change video games forever? No. Actually it is very badin several different aspects.
Steam does not have a price limit for games that go on sale, so they self-regulate based on what people are willing to pay.
Los AAA games cost between 60 and 80 eurosand the indie games vary between the 9.99 and the 39 eurosAlthough there are titles across the entire price range. But only niche games, such as flight simulators and other very specific genres, dare to charge more than those 80 euros.
Currently the most expensive game of Steam en The Hidden and Unknown, made in Slovakia by the company ProX, which is actually a single person named ThePro. It costs nothing less than 1.949,09 euros:
For that price, you might think that perhaps it presents a revolutionary technology, or proposes a new game concept never seen before that will make gamers brain explore. It is not like this.
The Hidden and Unknown is a game that it was already outdated 30 years ago. Is a text adventurewhat is now called a visual novel, which contains only static screens They look like they were generated with some kind of AI. The characters never appear on screen, and there are tons of text:
People who have tried it explain that the game starts with an introduction with scrolling textin the purest Star Wars style, which lasts… eight minutes.
This introduction tells that there is an imbalance between masculine and feminine energy: men are becoming sterile and women “more masculine”, which will cause the end of humanity. The protagonist will try to save the world with the help of an artificial intelligence that travels through time.
The game handles concepts more typical of the last century, such as the man they have the energy of Thoughtand the womenthe one of Feeling…so we’d better leave it here.
Because it does not have, it has no duration. it hardly takes a couple of hours to complete it, depending on your reading ability.
It only remains to be resolved why this game?, we will call it that, okay 1949,09 euros. The PCGamesN website has interviewed its author, who explains that the story tells aspects of his life mixed with elements of science fiction, and “I didn’t want to sell my life for 20 euros.”
He also acknowledges that “I don’t think anyone will buy it. I would advise against buying it if they can’t afford it, I don’t want to cause trouble.”
