The Challenge

probably was a good project to work on, but no longer active. No value, just ignore it.

Note: The last update made by the developers was over 8 years ago. The information and timeline described by the developers here may no longer be up to date.

The Challenge is an abandoned Early Access Unreal Engine based first person adventure/puzzle game where you travel through time and fix the unwelcome effects of other time travellers on the time stream. Okay! Well, it's a passable idea and despite most of the assets looking like they're flipped from the Unreal marketplace, the game looks decent enough thanks to Unreal, and carries most of the customisations you expect as standard on a PC game. The game was abandoned less than 6 months after launch and hasn't been updated in several years. It blew past the developers commitment to complete the game. There's no reliable indication the game will ever be completed, which is a reason for gamers to avoid this. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. PC gamers will be insulted by the presence of console peasant children's toy controller prompts, despite this being on PC. Developers should try to be aware which platform they're developing for. Unethically, the developer sold keys to this abandoned Early Access game into cheap, nasty game bundles, where they knew it would be advertised and sold as a complete game. This seems to have been done in an attempt to mislead gamers into buying a knowingly faulty, defective and incomplete product. When a developer does this for a game they have zero practical intention of completing, this is essentially a scam, an intention to get paid for a broken/unfinished product. Often this is done as an exit strategy, as the developer takes the money and runs. No refunds have been given, the developer kept all the money they took from gamers. The Challenge has a laughable, eye watering price of around $11 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games, let alone the sheer number of free games available on Steam. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend.
