Codes and redemption

No verified official reward codes or code-entry feature appeared in the official sources checked on August 6, 2026. This is a status report, not a promise that codes will never exist. Require a link to the developer or official store announcement before trusting a claimed code, and avoid tools that ask for a Steam login.

Supported languages

Steam lists English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Italian. English and Simplified Chinese are marked for full audio support. Check Steam’s detailed language table for the current interface, subtitle and audio columns before purchasing.

Controller and Deck distinction

Partial controller support means some setup or keyboard/mouse interaction may still be needed. The full-game page names DualSense, while the demo page names DualShock. These store tags do not prove that the demo exposes DualSense-specific features or that every PlayStation controller works the same way. Neither label is a Steam Deck rating; Valve compatibility was not published in the checked listing.

What the Steam categories do and do not prove

The categories are useful as a dated availability checklist. They confirm the features Steam displays, but missing metadata should not be converted into a permanent “no.” The August 23 US store shows a $16.99 base price with no live discount, so the earlier “price unknown” caveat no longer applies — the -10% / $15.29 window is historical. A single-player tag confirms the currently advertised mode, while the absence of multiplayer categories means co-op is not verified by this source. The achievements category confirms support, and the released store page currently lists 41 achievements.

Controller labels require the same care. Partial support warns that some interaction can still need a keyboard or mouse. The full-game and demo pages name different PlayStation controller families, so test the free demo with the setup you plan to use rather than extending one store tag to every device.

Recheck before purchase

Price, language columns and compatibility badges can still change after release. The game is released on August 5, 2026 per the official Steam store page, matching the July 9 post August 5, and the store date is the release fact.

Use the demo and controller guide to test input without buying, and the PC requirements guide to compare hardware.
