Edit: "Derision" is an asset flip. The developer used the developer response feature to confess he deliberately failed both tests for what makes an asset flip... when other people's assets make up the majority of the game (true for Derision) and whether the developer failed to credit the people who actually created the game assets (true for Derision). And of course the developer, by not crediting the actual creators, tacitly claimed credit for their work [b]FOR PROFIT[/b]. It doesn't matter if the license for those assets permits such use cases (there's no reason to believe so in this case), taking someone else's work, putting your own name on it to pretend you made it, and then trying to sell the result for profit is plagiarism and ethically bankrupt. If this was done in film or literature, not only would the developer never work in those industries again if they got caught doing it, but they would possibly be looking at finding a lawyer for the impending court cases. It's unclea...

About This Game
Just Updated
* 5/28/2024 UPDATE *
Due to negative feedback I have sent the request to Steam to make this game free (instead of $1, the lowest you can make it). If you are looking to purchase Derision now for $1, please wait until the FREE update has gone into effect.
Derision was really just a learning experience for me as a Unreal Engine developer and a test run for the Steam SDK. Thanks to everyone who played and gave me constructive feedback.
Please look forward to my next game which is already much higher quality.

You awake to the bars of your prison cell sliding open. You apprehensively peak outside and the dark, towering form of a Lich patrolling in the distance is the reason why.
Can you find a way to escape this nightmarish dungeon?
Use your discernment to navigate your way past Liches, disguise yourself, and find the key to your escape.
You will receive aid on your journey, will you aid others after you?

I wouldn't call this a game. It's more like a 30-minute demo of a Walking Sim. I only paid 27 cents for it, and yet feel like I got ripped off. After you play it once and know the process (what to do & where to go), you can speedrun it in 5 minutes or less. Here's the game's objectives... 1. Walk out of your open cell 2. Read a note in another open cell to get a code. 3. Talk to a prisoner. 4. Sneak past the guards. 5. Unlock a chest by typing in the code you have. Get the amulet inside. 6. Read another note. 7. Pick up the key. 8. Unlock the door and walk out. Yep. You read that right. That's all there is to it. In addition, the one and only achievement is buggy, as I've completed the game 7 times now and it hasn't popped. The game has also froze up on me several times, and it always happens at the same place... when I was typing in the code to open the chest. The graphics are blocky and cartoonish. The lighting is very dark, making it hard to see some things. Th...
this game is ridiculous it doesnt even make sense!!!
not a bad game for their first, this is a short First person (horror?) game about escaping a prison full of ghosts doing cult and ritual things. fun game beginning to end, even to speedrun. The written notes are the best part of the game
