Early Access Review
Now before you judge my review because of how much play time there is. Please read the entire review before making judgements. I know its a LOT but there is a LOT to discuss about this "game/demo" and its "developers".

Ah. Where to start in this abomination. That might even possibly be funded by actual terrorists.(unconfirmed)

Well this game came along a few months ago and released exactly as what it released as now as well. A demo.

Last time they tried selling it off on Steam it was removed within a day because of this attempted scam. Now the game is back and it is EXACTLY the same. A 1 lvl stage no bigger then a football field. With around 15 enemies armed with guns and a few raised areas for decoration with a water area in the middle (water is fake and has no depth even though the menu states there is a swimming option.....) where you can walk on it a-la-Jesus.

Now if that wasn't enough , during the first attempt to pass off this scam. We the players tried helping them by telling them what NOT to do. Like censoring criticism when true , lying about the state of the game , selling a demo (that didn't work then) as a game (for a game not even started on...) (their store page never reflected that it was a demo even though it was on the released page).

They didn't listen and shortly during the out pour in the forums , Steam removed the entire store page.

Now they are back and yes the demo actually works now (somewhat...). Sadly its not a game or even much of a demo. It took me all of 2 mins to kill all enemies and realize that there was nothing else in this "game" , certainly not an hours worth of content. Much less any actual fun . Hell, any actual gaming to be done.

Now during the first release these devs approached me after I exposed them on their FB page and forums on Steam. They went on to attempt to bribe me so I would stop posting and exposing them. Here is the FB convo of them bribing me.
http://pastebin.com/3GLbhGrK
I played along to see how far they took. Needless to say these "devs" are a whole nother level of scam. They went BACK on their own bribe and proceeded to give me 100 keys for the game which I gave out for free here and there. As long as I kept my mouth quiet.

So I did. While screenshotting and saving all the evidence of course. Since their game was removed and on the ODD chance it ever got put back on the store. I covered my ass.

So the game is back. But its not a game and its barely a demo. Barely a tech demo since its still buggy. Half the options don't work or don't even actually exist in game. Just written out in the options.

There is about 2 mins worth of content on it and 1 stage walled off from the rest of the stage. Its a 5gb update for about 40 steps in any direction and 15 or so enemies that half the time would run around aimlessly looking up into the sky.

So I exposed them. And of course they censored EVERYTHING and this time they wiped the entire forums. I posted a few times , exposing them and they eventually banned me(my guess is they couldn't figure out how to ban someone since they literally deleted every single post of mine , manually. I could see them disappearing 1 by 1 lol)

Afterwards their CEO https://www.facebook.com/DreamGamesCeo adds me on FB and after asking him what he wanted a few times (which he viewed all msgs. the notification said so) ignored me completely under what I can only imagine was some failed attempt at intimidation.

Shortly after they banned me on FB as well. So here I am writing out this whole drama out to those who care for such things in the hopes that you guys do the right thing and expose crooks and scammers like this.

Now. I alluded to them being a terrorism cell promoting a cashgrab to fund their activities on the basis that another player (pointed out in another thread now deleted) , had found extremist Muslim religious quotes on some of the install files. I have been looking for it but have been unsuccessful in finding it. Its possible it may have been removed shortly after they deleted the post singling it out.

If anyone does find it , please post where here!

Edit: GUESS WHAT! The files DO exist! The dev himself was kind enough to direct me to them without realizing it!

Tincup_the_Middleman: So is it true the game files have religious text in them ?
Dream Games: There is an english (language) editor
Tincup_the_Middleman: There is a quote talking about Allah in the game's files ?
Dream Games: :D
Tincup_the_Middleman: Yes or no ?
Dream Games: It was just some words
Tincup_the_Middleman: Which file folder ?
Tincup_the_Middleman: I wanna see it!
Dream Games: If you will download it, you'll see the don't open this file.bat
Dream Games: You saw?


This is after he posted this semi threat which I have since reported through email directly to Steam.

Tincup_the_Middleman: You won't listen now either so it doesn't matter :)
Dream Games: Yep. You are following a religion?
Tincup_the_Middleman: My beliefs are none of your business.
Dream Games: No. I just want to know it.
Tincup_the_Middleman: If you knew how to properly read in English you would know what it was I mentioned in my review about religion.
Tincup_the_Middleman: I don't care what you want to know lol
Dream Games: you mean, league of legends?
Tincup_the_Middleman: I sincerely don't care about you or your game at all. Its just a personal issue I have with scammers in general pushing abandonware out.
Dream Games: wow :D
Tincup_the_Middleman: Enjoy the time on Steam while it lasts. Last time Steam removed you guys in under a day.
Dream Games: you don't afraid?
Dream Games: you're not afraid?
Tincup_the_Middleman: Of nothing and no one.
Dream Games: :D Okay. We'll see the result. We're not believe to 3. :))))
Tincup_the_Middleman: Am I supposed to be afraid of something ?
Dream Games: Yes. You must.
Tincup_the_Middleman: Its fine if you don't believe me. The end result will be the same. You guys will go away soon enough.
Tincup_the_Middleman: Oh really ? I must ?
Dream Games: There is no ... but... you remember it , right? :D
Tincup_the_Middleman: Be scared of what then ?
Tincup_the_Middleman: Let me show you what true freedom is.
Tincup_the_Middleman: Religion is a joke used by the powerful to control the weak minded
Dream Games: Islam.


ADDITION: So this just happened. I get added by the dev and have this wonderful conversation I have since reported to Steam for harassment as well.

Tincup_the_Middleman: Why did you add me again ? lol
Dream Games: If it's problem, i can remove. But, if it's not, stay in friend list.
Tincup_the_Middleman: Its not a problem. Just to inform you I reported your game directly to the cyber crimes unit of the FBI as well for the religious propaganda in the game's files.
Dream Games: There is no problem.
Dream Games: If valve'll see something going wrong, trust me, they'll remove it.
Tincup_the_Middleman: I also handed over all transcripts of all conversations including your ISlamic threat.
Dream Games: :D
Dream Games: "Islamic" threat? :D
Tincup_the_Middleman: Idk if you guys are really just some young muslim trolls or real extremists but either way , I really don't think you guys realize what you are doing is illegal
Tincup_the_Middleman: Putting religious propaganda on a game is 100% illegal
Tincup_the_Middleman: Telling people to be afraid of ISLAM... is a good way to have the FBI on your ass
Tincup_the_Middleman: Either way idc. I did my part and properly reported it all to the proper authorities.
Dream Games: Do you know, what is the "propoganda"?
Dream Games: *propaganda
Tincup_the_Middleman: I could care less if Valve does anything to you or not. You escalated it to a whole nother level with your Islamic propaganda
Dream Games: We just added a file to game file side. And we've wrote " don't open this file" :)
Tincup_the_Middleman: Again. That is 100% illegal buddy.

This doesn't seem anything much and those developers don't know much of game development. And are fucked in the head, if even that.

However, within my friends and reddit, I have heard that this situation has been reported to the FBI: T&C (Threats and Crime). A dude actually walked to his local FBI center and reported this and even posted the documents. The reddit thread has been sadly removed for some reason.

Note that meanwhile I am not religious I am not against religions neither. However, as you all know internet is a fucked up place. Terrorists use it, propaganda takes place on internet and a lot of terrorism happens on internet, however more on Deep Web.

However, in this case, I think the game is just a buggy mess, the developers don't know much of game development and tried to put in an easter egg which may seem like an usual theme in their religion.

Once again, I am not against anyone, simply pointing out stuff.

Cheers

1] Hello,

If this is true and the developers are actually somewhat connected to terrorism I recommend you to contact your countries Counter-Terrorism organization, however there reports will be taken seriously, especially with the current state of terrorism in the actual world.

I also wanted to point out couple laws since I have a neighbor and a friend working at police.

Article 7 of the Printing and Publications Act No. 8 of 1998 sets out the ethical rules that apply to journalism and the conduct of journalists. It is illegal to publish material likely to stir up hatred or to make propaganda with a view to setting citizens against one another.

45-5-203: It is illegal to threaten a person, if the threatening person actually means it. This can be reported to Valve and will be treated very seriously. You can report a threat to your local police department who will than track the threatening user down, this can also be done in another country.
But, the threat wasn't so serious here.

I hate editting my reviews because it would appear as I am hiding something so I don't. Its explained in the comments section. TL/DR I mispoke.

Also. I want to point out that I was not the first person to comment on this. The person who explained it in another thread had it deleted by the dev in like 2 mins. I didn't pay enough attention for all the details on it sadly so I don't know who the person was.

@Tincup_the_Middleman
Why do you think having religious text in a video game - in the install files no less - is illegal?

Tincup, the SJWs are coming to take your review out of context and accuse you of being a bigot against muslims, you did it, you triggered people xD

Offtopic because Grammer Police: Damn it I used the wrong form of "there", I should've used there and not the one I used.
Tincup_the_Middleman Jun 2, 2016 @ 9:20am 
Let him have his opinion. I'm a big boy no worries xD

Thier should be an expectation for a company to respect others and be professional.
Cyber | castaway.tf Jun 2, 2016 @ 9:19am 
It's pretty clear that Kana is just speaking out their ass and making shit up.
Ra-Ra-Rasputin Jun 2, 2016 @ 9:15am 
Remember, bigot, everyone is "hateful toward" a bigot because a bigot assumes everyone else is like them. :^)

No, i'm talking you down because you're spinning an idiotic narrative, and it is clear from the very first paragraphs what sort of narrative it is. It is very easy to spin a made-up narrative in a completely other direction. I really couldn't give one toss what your personal opinion is. It's just this stupid "social justice" bullshit should find itself in the bottom of the waste barrel.

A developer's personal opinions or words don't matter at all. It's the game that matters, and the game you're reviewing.



Furthemore, the chatlogs clearly show you harrassing the developer, not the other way around, and the supposed threats they made... which we're supposed to take at face value, are curiously missing.
