Horror games often have certain cultural characteristics to attract their customers, such as eastern and western ghost stories or online urban legend adaptations, but there is a new horror game on Steam that directly challenges players with a “refund time limit” , the developers of “Refund Me If You Can” explicitly use the Steam refund policy as the time limit, betting that you can’t clear the level within 2 hours.
As we all know, there are two basic rules for the Steam refund policy, one is that you must play the game for no more than 2 hours, and the other is that you can get a refund within 14 days following purchasing the game, and the game “Refund Me If You Can” The name is obvious, and it challenges players with the spirit of “refund if you have the ability”.
“Refund Me If You Can” is a horror game that is not elaborately made. Players play as a survivor trapped in an underground labyrinth. They must pass through dark underground passages, while trying to find a way out while evading the pursuit of monsters.
The horror elements in the game are also very simple, relying on darkness and sudden loud noises as a means of scaring, as well as your psychological pressure on monsters. Sungame Studio claims that the game can be cleared in regarding 15 minutes if it goes well.
However, since the name of the game is so boring, the maze must be a little difficult. In fact, the developers have a lot of warm reminders. For example, the game cannot be paused, but you can use two different light sticks to mark it. It also reminds you not to stay in the same place for more than 45 seconds, and then the upper right corner of the screen will show your play time.
When it reaches 2 hours and still has not cleared the level, it is officially announced that “the road to success will be blocked”. At this time, the maze will be surprisingly difficult, because the path will suddenly increase, making it difficult for you to find the real exit.
As for the game, you still need to click on the consent form before the game starts, and promise that if you are not careful, you will not get a refund if it is not completely broken for 2 hours, otherwise you will be a coward. However, it seems that some folk masters have tried to break through the level within 2 hours.
Even so, “Refund Me If You Can” is still not a delicate game, and its low price is not bad for those players who buy it, it can only be said that the game can be regarded as making use of the Steam refund policy for oneself. Publicity stunt.
