This Steam game is selling a R359 certificate as DLC

23 June 2016

Hadean Lands is offering a R359 certificate as downloadable DLC.

The certificate is a “promise” by the player to complete the game without using hints or walkthroughs. The idea is that by actually paying this obscene amount of money for this document, you will stick to your values and play the game without any assistance.

The developer has defended the DLC saying that “I was hoping people would be amused”.

Unsurprisingly, given the tongue-in-cheek nature of the DLC, the whole idea has actually gone down well with players.

Hadean Lands is an interactive fiction game done in the old adventure game style. There are no graphics. You simply type your commands and read what happens next.
