Now you are the persecuted price

Now you are the persecuted is free to play — there is no purchase price, on Steam or anywhere else we track. We keep watching it, so if it ever stops being free the price history on this page will show when that happened and what it changed to.

About Now you are the persecuted

Run. Don’t fight.

You spawn in a weird, half-loaded dungeon. No sword. No loot. No upgrades. Just you, a white door, and a bunch of enemies that don’t stop coming. Every door you open means more monsters chasing you down.

Controls

  • Move with WASD or arrows.
  • Dash with Shift or right click.
That’s all you get.

Procedural chaos


Every floor is randomly generated, so you never really know what’s waiting—other than more enemies and more panic.

Simple to play, hard to survive


  • Find the white door to escape the dungeon.
  • Each door you enter spawns another enemy.
  • No fighting. No items. Just pure running for your life.

Bugs included

This is one of my first solo games, so expect glitches. Enemies might do something stupid. Things might break. That’s kind of the fun of it.

Why play this?

Because it’s free, it’s quick to pick up, and it’ll either make your heart race or make you rage.

"Now you are the persecuted" is a weird, badly made amateur project, a dungeon crawler with the RPG elements removed (you can't even attack). What do you do in the game? All you do is run through a procgen level avoiding the enemies to reach the exit. Consecutive levels have higher difficulty, but the most difficult thing in this game is trying to understand why someone would burn $100 to publish garbage like this on Steam. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. The graphics here are particularly awful, so bad that it actually stands out as one of the worst looking games on Steam. Quite an accomplishment. It's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. …

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

[h1] WE NEED TO REPENT FROM OUR SINS[/h1] He who covers up his sins will not prosper; but he who confesses them and turns away will obtain mercy (Proverbs 28:13). [h1]JESUS CHRIST IS THE "ONLY MEDIATOR"[/h1] Because there is only one God, and only one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5). In the beginning he was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1.1). And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (John 1.14). The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the only one who can give us eternal life and save us from the wrath to come. Salvation is not throu…
