Save Scream and Run

[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] Save Scream and Run is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Save and Survive/Hede, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/sci-fi/zeppelin-z-25-urp-294085]Zeppelin 'Z-25' (URP)[/url] Unity Store game assets from the real developers, IL.ranch, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work. Save and Survive/Hede has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3214800]3D PUZZLE - Gas Station[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/toon-gas-station-155369]Toon Gas Station[/url] developed by SICS Games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3120300]3D PUZZLE - Pizza Shop 1[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/urban/pizza-shop-kit-131579]Pizza Shop Kit[/url] developed by Brick Project Studio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1915910]Hidden Build Top-Down 3D[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/industrial/polygon-construction-low-poly-3d-art-by-synty-168036]Polygon Construction Low Poly 3D Art[/url] developed by Synty Studios [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1537940]Bow & Crystal Tower Defense[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/archery-simple-demo-complete-game-template-184591]Archery Simple Demo - Complete Game Template[/url] developed by Easy Game Studio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2630820]3D PUZZLE - Harbor[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/industrial/toon-harbor-pack-188250]Toon Harbor Pack[/url] developed by SICS Games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3079410]3D PUZZLE - Sun Temple[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/sun-temple-115417]Sun Temple[/url] developed by Sandra T [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2973580]Hidden FPS Shooting Top-Down 3D[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/fps-shooting-mobile-game-optimized-environment-213745]FPS Shooting Mobile Game Optimized Environment[/url] developed by Mubasher Amer [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2703230]3D PUZZLE - Hangar[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/industrial/fps-hangar-20040]FPS Hangar[/url] developed by Yunus Emre Yaman [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2244840]Fears of Glasses o-o World War[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/historic/polygon-war-map-wwi-low-poly-3d-art-by-synty-169085]Polygon War Map[/url] developed by Synty Studios [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1306160]Get Over Blood[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/historic/the-big-castle-kit-75818]The Big Castle Kit[/url] developed by Triplebrick [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3009820]3D Puzzle - Hospital 4[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/hospital-medical-office-kit-165327]Hospital Medical Office Kit[/url] developed by Brick Project Studio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3471100]How Much Items - Plants[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/vegetation/trees/edge-trees-1-273961]EDGE - Trees 1[/url] developed by Edge [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3079460]3D PUZZLE - Deserted Village[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/historic/deserted-village-86290]Deserted Village[/url] developed by Triplebrick [/list] Because this is an almost exact 1:1 copy + paste of the original Unity asset, it's in violation of the [url=https://unity.com/legal/as-terms]Unity Asset Store Terms of Service and EULA[/url]. Specifically, Section 2, Subsection 2.2.1a: [quote][i]Subject to the restrictions set forth in this EULA, Licensor hereby grants to the END-USER a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, and perpetual license to the Asset solely:(a) to incorporate the Asset, [b]together with substantial, original content not obtained through the Unity Asset Store[/b], into an electronic application or digital media that has a purpose, features, and functions beyond the display, performance, distribution, or use of Assets ("Licensed Product") as an embedded component of that Licensed Product, [b]such that the Asset does not comprise a substantial portion of the Licensed Product[/b][/i][/quote] Because the developer misused the asset pack such that it comprises the vast majority of this "game", the developer has unethically and deliberately breached the license agreement. Worse, this intellectual property violation was done in an attempt to profit from their illicit actions. Why is this permitted on Steam? This asset flip also contains sound files stolen from Freesounds that are used in direct violation of the copyright agreement conditions for those samples (attribution, non-commercial use). Copyright infringment of this sort is a criminal offense in some countries. The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Zeppelin 'Z-25' (URP)" is just a basic asset pack containing a retro-sci-fi zeppelin asset, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this copy+paste of it can't be recommended. Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off. Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have, and make it harder for gamers to find real games from genuine developers.

They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product. Due to the 2024 FTC ruling (16 CFR Part 465), these fake reviews are a violation of US Federal Law.[/quote]Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from Save and Survive/Hede. "Save Scream and Run" has the completely insane price of $200 USD, which is incredibly suspicious, higher than AAA pricing for an asset flip shovelware scam game. Why would the "developer" put such a high price tag on an asset flip with no true value as a game? There's no direct proof for this, but it's entirely possible this game is priced this way for money laundering or other criminal purposes. Higher prices allow more money to move with fewer transactions. Valve have previously banned developers for running money laundering scams. While there's no direct evidence in this case, it's highly suspicious and gamers should be wary. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.

I put all the parts of the ship in place, but it still did not take off, is this some kind of bug or do I have to press some button or something?

Not a bad game if you buy it with a discount pack, but for such a sum of 4k it's too much. The game is exciting and unusual. Rather, it caught my attention with something else 3 out of 5
