  • Hand of Doom QOL Update - 27 October 2025

    What's up magelets and doomers.It’s been a long time, but I never forgot about Hand of Doom, or the many great people who have supported it. Thank you so much!Hand of Doom was released under very stressful circumstances and a combination of factors made it very difficult to spend any time on an update for a long time.There have been bugs and issues in the game from the beginning that required a day one patch, but that never happened. Eventually, I was able to talk to the people at DreadXP about putting out an update, and they were very enthusiastic about it. Everyone at DreadXP has been very kind and supportive, and with their help I was able to put out something we’re both happy with. Thanks for sticking with me after such a long period of silence.Bug fixes:First I want to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who submitted feedback and bug reports. I compiled a big list of all feedback ov…

  • Where I've been - 12 December 2023

    Hey everyone. I've been a little quiet since the game came out (by which I mean I have never interacted with the community once) and I thought I should finally tell you why that is. First of all, Hand of Doom has not been abandoned, I have been taking note of your feedback and bug reports, and I do care. The reason I've been absent for the rest of the year since it came out is that the development of this game caused multiple significant problems in my personal life, and I had to step away for mental health and financial reasons. Hand of Doom is my first solo standalone game as Torple Dook. And while I did have an amazing team doing an extraordinary amount of work, the majority of the game rested on my shoulders. Over the year and a half that it took to make Hand of Doom I was subjected to more stress and more pressure than I had ever experienced before in my life. During the last six m…

Short description

Sign a contract in blood! Travel throughout the planes of existence slaying or befriending powerful doomlords in this wizard simulator inspired by the FMV games and dungeon crawlers of the early 90's. Learn powerful spells to solve puzzles and combat the dark forces amassing against you.

About this game

An apprentice wizard, seeking always to gain more power, enters the service of a powerful sorcerer to do his bidding. Now, trapped in eternal servitude, you are sent on a quest across the planes of existence to seek out and slay the Doomlords who preside over reality itself, all in the name of preventing universal disaster. THE MASTER OF DEATH The master of death has been resurrected. The powerful wizard that holds your contract signed in blood can no longer survive from the power they siphon from entities they've bound all across the planes of existence. To become more powerful than death itself, he sends his army of cultists to slay the entities and amass enough power to dethrone a god. SLAY OR BEFRIEND You don't have to honor the contract. In the different planes of existence, you can choose to slay or befriend the shackled entities, changing the conclusion of your story. Will you be a ruthless justicar, meting out pain and death? Or will you instead find common ground and friendship? The choice is entirely up to you in this doom metal and dark fantasy-inspired world. FEATURES A full version of the hit wizard simulator from the first Dread X Collection Nostalgic throwback to dungeon crawler RPGs of the early 90s, complete with live action FMV Cast spells by learning and performing arcane incantations one word at a time Doom metal-inspired soundtrack including tracks by Hexenkraft Inspiration for what to paint on the side of your van

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 14, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $2.99
  • Highest observed: $2.99

Hand of Doom's USD price history spans from Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 14, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $2.99, the highest is $2.99, and the first visible tracked price is $2.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -70%
  • Latest sale window: Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 14, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -70%, with a lowest recorded final price of $2.99 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Oct 14, 2026 and ends Oct 14, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99, from Oct 14, 2026 through Oct 14, 2026. The latest run records $2.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $9.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $2.99
  • Current list price: $9.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Hand of Doom at $2.99 in USD, with a listed base price of $9.99 and a -70% markdown. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
