A race against the refund window

A Steam horror game drew attention for an unusual premise: players would have to finish it quickly enough to remain eligible for a refund.

The pitch makes completion speed part of the challenge, alongside the game’s horror elements.

The story was published on July 22, 2022. The concept connects a short playthrough with Steam’s refund process, making the time taken to finish relevant to players considering the game.
