Dead Blue Rose

[quote][b]Note: Dead multiplayer game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no players, no populated servers. This multiplayer-only game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This is a very badly made co-op (ish) horror jumpscare game where you and nobody else (because nobody plays this, because it's junk) escape a jumpscare monster that chases you around a really badly rendered 3D laboratory complex. Why? Nobody cares. So, "Dead Blue Rose" is a dead multiplayer game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! The chief cause of failure is the developer thinking that their game will "go viral" without actually creating any reason for it do so. Competition amongst multiplayer centric games is extreme, and there's only a finite player base to appeal to. This game failed to reach any kind of critical mass and died as a result. Let's go into some of the reasons this particular game failed to appeal to gamers, despite the zero up front cost. The graphics here are particularly awful, so bad that it actually stands out as one of the worst looking games on Steam. Quite an accomplishment. Godawfully bad assets, crappy pixel textures, a WTF weird mono/blue palette... this looks hideous, and plays worse. This visual screwup is a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. Most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's usually some kind of monetisation, from nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, to any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or something you might want to spend your time on. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 6 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. There's no financial cost up-front, but you'd still be spending your time and a little hard drive space on a product that's far from the best. There's thousands of better alternatives on Steam.

Нету соуса для пельменей!

This game sucks and the reviews are fake, this game has close to no potential. You can barely see and the monsters are just 3D models with a blue box in front of them. Your character is so short you can't make it up the stairs, and my friend fell out of the map. I wouldn't be surprised if this game is farming crypto currency or putting a virus on your computer. DO NOT play this!!!!!

its free and fun with friends cant complain
