This week, a brand-new game has launched on the Valve storefront, and the best part? It's completely free! Early reviews from Steam users indicate that this game is quite impressive, boasting an outstanding 94% approval rating at the time of writing. While some may argue that its free status could skew this rating, it's important to note that offering a game for free often attracts a diverse player base, which can sometimes lead to mixed reviews—a phenomenon we've seen with other titles in the past.
The game in question is Down the Rabbit Hole Flattened, a 2D adaptation of the 2020 VR game, Down the Rabbit Hole. Unlike its predecessor, which is priced at $20, this new version is available at no cost. Interestingly, both games share the same 94% user rating on Steam. Developed by Cortopia Studios and published by Beyond Frames, Down the Rabbit Hole Flattened retains the charm of the original.
According to the official Steam description, “Down the Rabbit Hole is an adventure that unfolds in Wonderland before Alice's arrival. You will guide a girl in search of her lost pet, Patches, who has wandered into this enchanting realm. As you navigate her journey through a captivating diorama, you will explore the wonders of Wonderland, solve puzzles, uncover secrets, and make impactful choices that shape the story.”
Players looking to dive into Down the Rabbit Hole Flattened can expect a gameplay experience lasting around 2-3 hours. However, those using a Steam Deck should take note that the game's compatibility is currently marked as "Unknown."
As for the decision to offer this game for free, it likely stems from the niche appeal of a 2D version of a VR title from 2020. Additionally, it serves as a promotional strategy for the release of its follow-up, Escaping Wonderland, which also debuted on Steam this week.
