Evaluation

Welcome to the Game II launched on April 3, 2018 and received a concentrated burst of post-launch patches and balance updates over the following two weeks, culminating in a Mac port on April 19, 2018. All of this activity was focused on stabilizing and polishing the base game — no additional paid content, expansions, or DLC was ever announced or released for this title. After April 2018, developer communication on this game's Steam page shifted entirely to cross-promotions for other titles in the Reflect Studios lineup: a multiplayer spinoff called Masks of Deception (announced June 2022) and a new entry in the same universe called Dead Signal (announced October 2023). Most recently, on June 23, 2026, the developer announced that Welcome to the Game III will launch on July 16, 2026 — confirming the studio is alive and active, but focused on a new title rather than continued updates to this one. There is no DLC, no roadmap, no promised future content, and no unreleased items associated with Welcome to the Game II. The game shipped as a self-contained experience and has been content-complete since mid-April 2018.

About this game

Welcome to the Game II is an atmospheric horror / strategy / puzzle game that takes you into the world of the deep web, in search of the shadow web. Why are you in search of the shadow web? Let’s take you back into the story.

You play as Clint Edwards, an investigative reporter in a major metropolitan area. You wake up from a nap to sounds coming from your computer. Someone has sent you a link to a stream that is causing alarm to its viewers. Upon viewing the stream, you see a woman named Amalea who’s scared for her life. Amalea says something about the shadow web, and that there are men in masks hunting her down. When trying to explain her location, the stream abruptly ends. This peaks Clint’s interest, and he must dig deeper to find her before it’s too late. But little does Clint know that the deep web is not a place to poke around. You never know who else is around to poke back.

Welcome to the Game II puts you the task of saving Amalea, and how to get there. You are tasked to seek out 8 hidden hashes to decrypt the shadow web browser. You do this by using a simulated computer operating system on a computer. This simulated operating system will come with tools to help you on your way, such as a web browser (A.N.N), Note taking software, software package purchase options(zeroDAY), and more!

The hidden hashes are spread out through the deep web, on web pages. You find the hashes by carefully examining the page by either clicking around, viewing the page source, or maybe poking around a hidden file somewhere.

While you are on your search for the hidden hashes, you must hack your way into neighbors Wi-Fi’s to be avoid being tracked by the police! Fend off hackers (mini games) from stealing your data, DOSCoin (in game currency), notes. Order products to help you on your mission such as Wi-Fi boosters to get better range, motion sensors. Make DOSCoin(in game currency) by doing certain tasks such as defeating hacks and items to generate you DOS Coin!

This all takes place in your city apartment building, where you must explore around to move around the Wi-Fi dongle, set up motion detectors, go to the drop off location and more! While all doing so by being hunted by the mysterious unknows of the deep web (bad guys).
