The Suits Have Gone Mad!

"The Suits Have Gone Mad!" is a low key asset flip, a bunch of other people's assets assembled badly to make a basic game, typically this kind of thing is done by amateur developers without sufficient budget, talent and/or staff to do the job of game development professionally. It's then quickly rushed into Steam Direct. And, unsurprisingly, this never results in a product with any quality, interest, or value for gamers. This is marketed as a "free" game, but it's not, it's a paid product and the developers just dumped a small, bug riddled advertisement/demo onto Steam as if it was a full game in an attempt to mislead gamers and get them on the hook to buy the rest of the content... which the developers gave up on making when they mathed out that flipping assets and putting a greyscale filter on them to try make it look like it's not a bunch of flipped assets wasn't going to make them rich if they went ahead and made the rest of the content they were going to paywall behind DLC. Because they think PC gamers like to be monetised like mobile gamers or something... whatever the approach, it's insulting. There's a proper process to launch advertisements and demos on Steam, and whenever developers deliberately avoid following that process, for the purpose of misleading gamers with non-free products marketed as free, it gets on my pet peeves. Anyway all of that is irrelevant because the developers abandoned this after their advert failed to "go viral", leaving it on Steam anyway to pollute the place. So, the game might look better than you'd expect from an amateur project, but this is because it's partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Very little in this game is truly the creation of the "developer", it's just a bunch of rearranged assets. While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "The Suits Have Gone Mad!". Despite not being in Early Access, it's obvious this is an incomplete product. Developers have an obligation to deliver complete, not partially done products to gamers, that shouldn't be controversial. Whatever the excuses may be, it does no service to gamers for incomplete products polluting Steam like this. It makes it harder for gamers to find complete games, and it makes it harder for ethical developers who do the right thing to find their audience. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. You're expected to pay up $400 USD to unlock content through DLC purchases. The game should not be considered completely unlocked until you empty your wallet for the developer. This is misleading and predatory pricing on a product falsely marketed as "free". In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 14 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Given that this free title won't increase your game collector count, is it worth your time to add it to your library? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. I didn't pay money, but I still feel ripped off.

For a free game I randomly found on Steam, this was surprisingly compelling. Like The Stanley Parable meets Portal meets 1984. Would really like to play Chapter 2 when it is released.

Świetna gra! Wyjątkowo pomysłowa historia, różniąca się zdecydowanie od typowych gier horror, upiorna i napięta atmosfera, trochę ucieczek. Serdecznie polecam!

This was actually phenomenal! I found this game while i was looking for random or interesting horror games and thought this would be a throwaway scary kinda game but I was dead wrong. not only is the story and style unique but the gameplay is also very fun. I LOVED the dodging with the floppy ragdolls and watching them chase you was nothing short of entertaining and thrilling. Its very 1984 esque and dystopian which makes it even more scary knowing what the suits are able to get away with. PLEASE I beg of you, Try this game. Its only about half an hour of game time but its soooo rich with story and FREE!!

Игры мертвее чем эта я вообще не видел, игра умерла буквально спустя неделю хайпа. Всё

anxiety horrors come to life one of the best games I have ever played
