FREE - Play free Prologue!

A mention of the game name in the thread title also wouldn't hurt

(tl;dr version: +1)

"Prologue" refers to a seperate, preceding content to a fuller game. For example, Charnel House Trilogy is considered a prologue for the (likely never to be released) Augur Peak game, while in novels a prologue is an initial section of a narrative, written in a different style and/or from a different perspective from the core narrative. Meanwhile, flagrantly unprofessional Steam developers have taken to using the term to mean "Demo", since exploiting the label gives demo content more visibility than using the actual demo functionality in Steam (though perhaps it also is at times indicative of the developer lacking entry-level English comprehension).

In any case. regardless of the term's meaning, its utilization, and my personal irritation towards the developers who misuse it (primarily since fake prologue content can be extremely spammy within the Steam store interface..), the actual license type on Steam specifically refers to permanently free content (thus presumably meaning it can't be applied to anything with a price tag, even if desired).

Thus, as you noted, it's not only not news, it's basically the opposite of such; After all, "Look, random low-profile game has a demo!" would be presumably be even more spammy than "Look, this game is permanently free!", a consideration the SG community has already written off as being needlessly spammy (when not also expressing something else, like a personal perspective on the content).

Well, though, to be fair, the way many developers have been skipping over releasing demos in recent years, maybe a game having a demo can still be considered news of a sort. Not really sure about that applying to a low-profile game like this, however. Definitely shouldn't by any means be in the "Deals" section, however, no matter how one works through it.

happy cakeday!
