[PC, Steam] Free Game: Dark Riddle (Becoming a Paid Game) @ Steam

Heads up: The game is going paid next week - Steam news update (May 27, 2025)

⚠️ Heads up: The game is going paid next week

Hey everyone,

We’ve got an important update from the team at PAGA GAMES.

Our game has been free to play — and that’s been intentional. We wanted as many of you as possible to try it out, send us feedback, and help shape what it’s become.

But next week, that’s changing:
The game will no longer be free.

We’re switching to a paid model so we can keep improving and supporting it long-term. It’s a big step for us as an indie team.

What this means for you:
• If you’ve already downloaded the game — it’s yours to keep, forever, no charge.
• If you haven’t tried it yet — now’s the time. You’ve got one week to grab it for free.
• After that, the game will be available for [insert price].

Thanks for being here, playing, testing, and sticking with us.
We seriously appreciate you.

— The PAGA GAMES team

Dark Riddle - Description

Neighbors can sometimes create problems more serious than noise at the wrong time of the day. In this game you have to face an unusual neighbor, whose home is full of chilling secrets. Get into his house unnoticed, bypassing all the traps and video cameras, and get to the truth that can shock you!

The main character in this interactive thriller is yourself, thanks to a realistic camera from the first person perspective. Moving to a new home, you discover some oddities in the behavior of your unsociable neighbor from the house across the street. He never leaves his home, from which strange and unsettling sounds can be heard, like cries. And one dark night a neighbor drags out of his house a bag with something that resembles a human body. It becomes clear that something suspicious is going on. You can not stay away - you need to get into the neighbor's house and find out what's happening inside! However, this will not be so easy to do! Each corner of his yard is adorned with a movable video camera, and all doors and windows are securely locked. And the neighbor himself is a rather dangerous person who will stop at nothing, just to hide all his dark deeds. If he discovers you, you are unlikely to be able to leave his house alive! Stay unnoticed, use your own ingenuity and uncover a terrible secret!
