About this game
Just Updated
* 5/28/2024 UPDATE *
Due to negative feedback I have sent the request to Steam to make this game free (instead of $1, the lowest you can make it). If you are looking to purchase Derision now for $1, please wait until the FREE update has gone into effect.
Derision was really just a learning experience for me as a Unreal Engine developer and a test run for the Steam SDK. Thanks to everyone who played and gave me constructive feedback.
Please look forward to my next game which is already much higher quality.
About the Game
Derision
You awake to the bars of your prison cell sliding open. You apprehensively peak outside and the dark, towering form of a Lich patrolling in the distance is the reason why.
Can you find a way to escape this nightmarish dungeon?
Use your discernment to navigate your way past Liches, disguise yourself, and find the key to your escape.
You will receive aid on your journey, will you aid others after you?
Help those imprisoned with you, and those that come after you. Or not...
Even if you make it out, will anyone believe you? Or will your stories be met with Derision?
These are questions you can provide the answers to with multiple endings based on your decisions.
