Evaluation

Pleh! is a free-to-play psychological horror walking simulator that launched on March 17, 2023. The developer shipped a non-canon content update on October 17, 2023 (version 1.6.9), then explicitly stated in that same post: "Aside from fixing bugs from this content update, there won't be any more major updates to this game." A small bug-fix patch followed on November 3, 2023, and on March 17, 2024 the developer posted a one-year anniversary message — but neither post announced any new content. The developer's attention has since shifted to their next game, Knight in Time, which was teased in October 2023 and received a further wishlist announcement in May 2025. The game launched as a complete, finished product and the developer has clearly communicated that major development is over.

About this game

THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

Hey! There you are! This is my game, Pleh! I put a lot of work into it but... is it really that good? No matter how many things I add to it I always just end up... hating it...

But you don't fully understand, do you? You don't know what it's like to be so small in a world that doesn't matter. Don't play this game. You don't want to know the truth. You don't want to know what it's like. There is no escape from it.

This game isn't suitable for everyone

This game has some mentioning of some heavy themes;

Depression
Suicide
Social anxiety

If you are triggered by any of these themes, and it hurts me as the developer to say this, you might want to avoid this game for now.

Computer data

Some data on your computer might be used in the game. The data is never collected, uploaded or used in any malicious way and will only be displayed for the player. So like, we're not gonna give you a virus or steal your data or something like that (Source: trust me).

The data that may be shown (not stolen) is as follows:

Steam name
Computer username
Discord information (only if installed)

If you're afraid of doxing yourself live you can turn on streamer mode, which will stop your computer name from being used.

"Oooooh but I don't like walking simulators and have a short attention span and I want gameplay and shooters and gameplay!"

Go play [INSERT OTHER STEAM GAME HERE THAT I CAN'T MENTION THE NAME OF FOR STEAM LEGAL REASONS BUT JUST IMAGINE A GENERIC POPULAR SHOOTER] instead, the game is free though, it's not like you'll complain and say it wasn't worth the money.
