About Derision

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.

I wouldn't call this a game. It's more like a 30-minute demo of a Walking Sim. I only paid 27 cents for it, and yet feel like I got ripped off. After you play it once and know the process (what to do & where to go), you can speedrun it in 5 minutes or less. Here's the game's objectives... 1. Walk out of your open cell 2. Read a note in another open cell to get a code. 3. Talk to a prisoner. 4. Sneak past the guards. 5. Unlock a chest by typing in the code you have. Get the amulet inside. 6. Read another note. 7. Pick up the key. 8. Unlock the door and walk out. Yep. You read that right. That's all there is to it. In addition, the one and only achievement is buggy, as I've completed the game 7 times now and it hasn't popped. The game has also froze up on me several times, and it always happens at the same place... when I was typing in the code to open the chest. The graphics are blocky and cartoonish. The lighting is very dark, making it hard to see some things. The concept of the game is a good idea, but since it's more like a demo you shouldn't waste your money or time.

This game left me puzzled. I swiftly explored everything the map had to offer and managed to escape the "prison" in record time without assisting the fellow prisoners. However, despite my quick escape, I didn't earn the Escape achievement. The few papers scattered around provided some random information, but they didn't help clarify the game's purpose. Overall, I'm genuinely confused about what this game is trying to achieve.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper
