I have been working for over 2 years on my game and 4 months ago I finally released my demo. Yesterday, while searching on Steam I found a game with EXACTLY the same title and very similar premise. The page was created in May or June 2026 and they aim to release in August 2026. Here are some of descriptions I use on my Steam page:
-
A first-person psychological thriller with a heavy atmosphere and elements of liminal horror.
-
Uncover the stories of your subjects by studying their personal items and darkest secrets before making life-or-death choices.
-
Will you sacrifice your own beliefs to obey HIS authority?
For comparison here is how they describe their game:
“Will you obey orders, or resist? In this first-person psychological horror game, you sit across from subjects and must investigate evidence to determine who is telling the truth, and decide their fate.”
My game is planned to release in October or whenever it’s completely playtested and polished. I’m not sure what I can do as this has never happened before, what do you think is my best course of action here?
For reference my game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2719670/The_Milgram_Experiment
And the copy: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4777470/The_Milgram_Experiment/
I wish listed your game, I’ve been following it for some time, looks a lot better than the copy. I don’t think that copy will sell as much, and if you keep promoting and talking about it the way you already are, I think it’d be clear which one is the rip off.
I think it’d be a good idea to give keys to some streamers to show the game. I might tell a few steamers to stream this, it seems like it would be fun to do this with an audience.
Yeah, thank you! I am already sending my demo to streamers and of course when the full game is out I will send keys too
