Evaluation

Wicked Games is a free-to-play Early Access adventure game that launched on Steam on July 27, 2022. The developer, Sibcat Team, released the game as a demo/work-in-progress, with additional episodes planned to complete the story. The game received one notable update on June 14, 2023 — a demo build of a new winter episode adding new character sprites, beat 'em up mechanics, and inventory systems. However, in the same post on June 14, 2023, the developer delivered a significant piece of news: due to ongoing circumstances (primarily international sanctions limiting their access to Steam revenue), development of Wicked Games has been "involuntarily paused." The team explicitly stated they are now working on a brand-new game set in the same universe instead. While they said they "will definitely come back" to Wicked Games, no timeline was given. Since June 14, 2023, there have been no further developer communications of any kind. The story of the main character, Adan Kaider, remains incomplete, and the originally planned Episode 3 and beyond have not been delivered. The game's store page continues to describe content that is planned but not yet in the game. Given that the developer explicitly announced a development pause and has not posted any updates since June 14, 2023 — now over three years ago — the status of this game is highly uncertain. It is still available to download for free, and the developer expressed intent to return, but there is no evidence of any active work on Wicked Games since that date.
Evidence
Developer announced that Wicked Games development has been involuntarily paused due to sanctions limiting access to Steam revenue. The team is now working on a new game in the same universe.

About this game

The protagonist is Adan Kaider, a sinner who has ended up in Hell.

After being in the place of punishment for three years, he became obsessed with one single thought: to get out of here as soon as possible.
Finally, after a long wait and demanding work, he had the opportunity not just to gain freedom. Adan got his hands on a lucky ticket with a cover on it that states: "Ticket to Paradise". Unknowingly, the hero doomed himself to many trials, which will not only test his character, but also transform him beyond recognition.

You’ll face many surprises, mentally trying decisions, various locations and dialogues with interesting characters.
Also, you’ll see a large number of Hell representatives: sinners who are leading a wretched existence of disenfranchised slaves; demons who represent the local prissy elite, raising themselves above the rest; and forgiven, people who didn’t approve themselves during their mortal life and got a chance to do it here, in Hell.

What we have (and what we plan to make):

  • 1. Quests based on social interactions, with the mechanics of dialogues and decision-choices that determine not only the attitude of the characters towards you, but also the final ending.
  • 2. Unique and radically different locations (both in ideas and ways of playing).
  • 3. Various gameplay mechanics that diversify the gaming experience.
  • 4. Authorial designed soundtracks.
  • 5. Original voice acting in Russian.
  • 6. A wide variety of characters you can (and should) interact with.
  • 7. Deep universe with its own history and problems.
  • 8. And,surely, a lot of humor!
That will be free to download and play the game for the duration of the development process.

Why?

Due to the current situation in the international field (sanctions against Russia), we are not able to get funds from Steam directly.
