Unbelievable Steam Game Breaks World Record with Staggering $1 Million Price Tag!

Highlights

Spooky Men, an early access co-op horror game on Steam, is currently priced at an outrageous $1 million, making it one of the most expensive games on the platform.

Despite receiving negative reviews initially due to its lower price, the game's recent price increase has generated a mixed reception, including some positive user ratings, albeit mostly done humorously.

In an attempt to generate interest and potentially attract more players, the developer has been distributing codes for free through Discord, despite the game's high price tag.

Spooky Men, an early access Steam co-op horror game, is currently listed for a staggering $1 million on Valve's digital distribution platform. While most publishers on Steam set reasonable prices for their games, there are outliers who sell their games at astronomical prices. The Hidden and Unknown, a Steam game that recently made headlines, was discovered to be selling for $1,999.90 while only offering a few hours of gameplay. However, Spooky Men's $1 million price tag surpasses even the outrageousness of The Hidden and Unknown.

Developed and published by Bloody Bear, Spooky Men is an early access game that was initially released on May 9, 2023. During its launch, the game was priced much more reasonably, with some listings even offering it for as low as $0.59, based on SteamDB records. However, players who tried the game during this period expressed negative feedback. Since undergoing a significant price increase, the overall reception of the game has shifted from negative to mixed. More recently, user ratings have become more positive, though many of them are in the form of joke reviews. According to Reddit users, the game's developer has been distributing codes through Discord, providing some individuals with access to play the game despite its outrageously high price tag of $1 million.

Spooky Men is an 8-player online multiplayer game set in a haunted house. Players can choose to play as humans or ghosts, with the humans working together to escape while the ghost tries to sabotage them. It bears similarities to Phasmophobia but with an asymmetric multiplayer twist. Early reviews suggest that the execution may not have been up to par. However, as Spooky Men is in early access, there is potential for substantial updates to enhance the experience. Despite its $1 million price tag, the game has garnered interest on social media, potentially drawing more people to participate in a Discord giveaway for a chance to try the cooperative horror game.

Spooky Men is available in early access on PC.
