According to its creators:
This game is not for everyone. It is for those who understand that prestige has a price.
They also describe it as “the most expensive game on Steam.”
Players enter a palace, walk a red carpet, and see their names displayed for future owners. No idea if this game is a joke or a social experiment

It’s a grift - get one idiot to buy it and you’ll have made a profit. Not an original idea either, “I Am Rich” was pretty much the same thing back in 2008.
Except steam has a refund policy now, wonder how that’s going to work out
Yeah, I was gonna say it’s neither a joke nor experiment: it’s a bet that some people will try it and at least one person won’t call for a refund, possibly by missing the refund window.
Yeah, wish I’d thought of it. There are always fools with too much money.
Why give this scam any publicity? It’s been done before.
It’s not a scam, buyers get exactly what is advertised. It would actually be better and funnier if it were a scam.
Still cheaper than all the Sims DLC
The Real Congratulations On Your Purchase
This is just a social engineering attack for rich, gullible people.
Sorry I commented on the wrong post

I can wait. I’ll pick it up on a Summer Sale or something when it’s 90% off.
Maybe at 99.999% off
AI slop description, right?
Yep.
AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:
Some of the store page artwork for this game was created with the assistance of generative AI image tools. The game itself does not use or generate AI content at runtime.There’s no way a dev is lazy enough to generate their game’s Steam page with AI, and not use it during development as well.
Indeed, disclosures are all meaningless. The only truthful ones are the ones that admit AI use; everything else is suspect. What an era we live in…
Isnt this very against steam ToS?
How so?
Maybe base game yes. But isn’t there some train sim game, which with all DLCS is like 6 or 7k?
About right for the stupid times we live in
Probably already on SU
I could’ve sworn there was some instructional game in steam for like $10k or something. Maybe it was less and/or has since been removed.
you mean the visual novel with ai generated backgrounds?
I am not familiar with what you’re talking about. It may well could have been presented as a visual novel, but only in the sense that you click through it. My recollection was that it was a corporate training thing (which have similar layouts to visual novels lol). As far as AI generated backgrounds though, I don’t think so. Memories are not reliable, of course, but I’m fairly certain this was pre pandemic. AI images existed then, but it was mostly the dog-filled deep dream images and sketchy dall-e stuff. Maybe it used that, it’s not impossible, but it wasn’t really at the level of quality back then where you’d be tempted to use it over stock images.
I think the program had something to do with fire diamonds, those 45° offset squares with numbers in the top three corners to give a quick overview of dangerous materials are.
Kinda salty I didn’t think to make this first. I’d make it an exclusive first-person game with proximity vc.
If some chud wants to give me way too much money just to prove he has it, I’ll take it. I’ll take it and buy a steak dinner for my wife and I and donate the rest to the DSA.
