About this game
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Due to our closure, Poisoned Path will be permanently removed from Steam on June 30, 2026. Once added to your library, it remains yours forever. Thank you for preserving this single-sitting story before it becomes lost media!
Hello everyone,Writing this is much harder than our two-person team could have ever imagined. In less than 24 hours, Poisoned Path will be permanently retired from the Steam store as we officially close our studio due to ongoing financial struggles.We poured our hearts into creating this highly focused, 30-minute cinematic experience. It was built to respect your time and leave a lasting impression. While we are heartbroken that our indie journey is coming to an end, we are deeply moved by the support we’ve received in these final days.As a reminder, because we couldn't run a final sale, the base price has been permanently lowered for these last remaining hours.When the countdown ends tomorrow, the purchase button will disappear forever. However, if you add the game to your library before then, this story will remain safely in your digital archive, immune to becoming "lost media." You will be able to download and play it whenever you wish.To everyone who has played, reviewed, and chosen to keep our art alive in their libraries instead of refunding it: you gave two independent developers a dream they will never forget.Thank you for being the final chapter of our story. 🖤
Hello everyone,As we rapidly approach June 30, the day Poisoned Path will permanently leave the store due to our studio's administrative closure, we wanted to offer one final gesture of gratitude to this amazing community.As many of you know, our final 50% discount event just ended on June 23rd. Due to the standard cooldown periods between sales, we are technically unable to run another discount campaign before the game is permanently retired next week. We previously thought this meant the game would stay at full price for its final days. However, we really wanted to make this final window as accessible as possible. Since we couldn't run a sale, we took a different route: we have officially and permanently lowered the base price of the game for its remaining time on the store.To remain completely transparent about the experience you are bringing into your library: Poisoned Path is a highly focused, single-sitting interactive short story. We designed it without any filler, crafting a concise, atmospheric narrative that deeply respects your time.If you missed the last sale, or if you are a digital collector looking to preserve a piece of art before it steps into the "lost media" vault, this lowered base price is our final thank you. As always, once you add the game to your library, it is yours to download and play forever, regardless of its removal from the store on June 30.Thank you for understanding our journey, and for continuing to preserve our independent art in your digital libraries. 🖤
