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

With a bonus circle-jerk video game!

I love these. It's a tax on stupid. They prey on rich idiots and I'm 100% for it.

You see the same thing with high fashion brands with atrocious products. Ripping off rich people. Love to see it.

By "future owners" does that mean you have a limited amount of time to play it after purchasing?

The description says "ten minutes."

I have a feeling that this may break certain terms in their Steam agreement, but I'm not sure.

The absolute best part of it is...they have one scene. One stage. They require GTX 1060 as minimum. And yet, in my opinion, this still looks like shit graphically. 2004 Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines managed to have better posh ambiance. xD

What, did you expect they would put a lot of effort into this game? This is something a somewhat talented dev slaps together in like 2 hours.

I expected anything! And still too much xD
