Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.4/day in the week to Jul 20 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
D3AD HAND now includes R3D STAR - a full new bonus and more challenging adventure featuring hours of new content!
Crack the code, feed the cat, save the world.

D3AD HAND is a darkly comedic point-and-click adventure set in a crumbling Cold War missile base deep in Siberia. You are Yuri Spraytyvich, freshly appointed Junior Strategic Missile Force Manager, tasked with holding together the decaying Čerëmuški Command Post.
But when PERIMETER-the Soviet automatic defense system-mistakenly initiates a nuclear launch, it’s up to Yuri (and your wits) to stop the end of the world. Navigate sabotage, radiation, worker strikes, and absurd bureaucracy in a race against doomsday.

R3D STAR: Uncover the fate of Sputnik and thwart the devious plans of Major Perestrova in your continued quest to prevent global annihilation.
◉ Unique alternative history setting and pixel art style.
◉ Tongue-in-cheek humour.
◉ Elegant point 'n' click control of character.
◉ Ideal for newcomers to the genre, familiar and nostalgic for veterans.
◉ Multiple different endings to discover.
◉ Play as Stalin (the cat) in R3D STAR to help Yuri using your feline skills!

I can't say how fun this game is! Such a great art style, game play makes you think OUTSIDE the box and work really had to suceed! Amazing work from the dev! Keep it up!
Just finished a first playthrough of D3AD HAND, have not started R3D STAR yet. I really appreciate the simplicity of the game but you get drawn into the world pretty quickly. The puzzles are simple enough to not be frustrating at any point yet each solution is always satisfying. The use of mini game like puzzles was a nice break as well. The humour is a good blend of tongue in cheek without being too much and the fourth wall breaking was a nice surprise as for some reason I didn't expect this. Great game, well worth picking up. I guess I now move onto R3D STAR!

A nice point-and-click adventure that goes for the vibe of early LucasArts games. Since June 2025, this is actually two games in one: DEAD HAND is the prologue, which takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. RED STAR is the main game, which takes another 3 to 4 hours (or longer if you are not experienced in adventure games). The UI is good; graphics are OK and have their charm; the voice acting is really cheesy. The game has some math-based puzzles, so if you hate math this might not be for you.
If this seems like your cup of tea, it probably is!
High polish, witty, and classy point and click experience.
Really enjoyed the unique art, the humour and the puzzles. A good challenge level. The developer has put enormous amounts of passion and energy into this game and it really shows. The music is nice and the world the game is set in is engaging and makes you want to find out more. Would very highly recommend. Definitely an insta buy at this price for this quality of game.
Era dai tempi del mio Pentium 133 e di Monkey Island che non mi divertivo così con un punta e clicca!! Bellissimo!

I really enjoyed both D3AD HAND and the included R3D STAR. If you are a fan of retro pixel art-ish themed games, give this a try.
Lasting at least a puzzle-filled four hours, the two standalone chapters now collectively comprising D3AD HAND are a welcome diversion and some much-needed laughs in our war-plagued real world, gently poking fun at the Russian military machine. Especially in the larger “R3D STAR” update, the ongoing switching between human and cat brings greater gameplay diversity, and overall the combination of humor, wonderful pixel art, exciting music and variety of puzzles make you wish for an even longer game. Instead I’ll look forward to Duck Made Of Wood’s next game already in progress, as D3AD HAND is such a promising debut for a developer that shows the potential for stardom. https://adventuregamehotspot.com/review/6357/d3ad-hand
