  • Hello Cruel World is out now! - 1 August 2024

    Hello Cruel World, our psychological horror in VR, is out now on Meta and SteamVR! Welcome to the Crab n’ Grab, one of the best places to get your southern, greasy fried fish in America– Or at least it was until it closed suddenly many years ago with no apparent reason. The leading theory is that the health department got involved yet there isn’t any record of them shutting it down. Follow the adventures of an urban explorer streamer who has found the abandoned Crab n’ Grab and made the unfortunate decision to go in and stream their findings to chat. The mysterious voice over the loudspeaker is asking for help to escape but something feels off about this voice. There is much more than just old food left under the restaurant. What lays ahead in the darkness? Who is guiding you through the loudspeakers and how long have they been down there? -riv otter

Short description

You are an urban explorer and you just hit the motherload. Hidden under the carcass of an abandoned restaurant, a deadly, decrepit laboratory teems with secrets around every corner. Solve puzzles, avoid danger, and uncover the VR mystery of the asylum-- and the voice in your earpiece.

About this game

Features Product Testing - Probing the limits of human pain receptors and cybernetic grafts may sound difficult-- and it is! But you're the exception that proves the rule, aren't you? Real-time Simulated Chat - Even down here, there's wifi. And that means your audience gets a front row seat to your death-defying depravity as they help you out along the way. No Limits Research - Only the unhindered scientific mind can crack open the nature of the universe. Let's not let empathy or ethics get in the way of true, unmitigated progress. About the Game In this VR horror puzzle game, it's just another day of you, your trusty stream chat, and a young woman trapped in an experimental torture-test to see when she'll break. Can you save her? It was supposed to be simple. The Crab 'n Grab, a trashy seafood restaurant a thousand miles from the sea. But your chat kept telling you to take a look. That something more is brewing underneath the surface. That there's something ""there"" there. And after all, isn't it your job to dive headfirst into danger? Isn't that the thrill? How thrilling do you find the skittering of ticker-taps of robotic legs on concrete? What about the voice coming over the loudspeaker? Who's keeping her prisoner? Why are they testing you? They've got livewire electrical shortages in Sector One, the rotten remains of the holding cells in Sector Three, and all those finnicky, experimental gadgets stored in Sector Four. Your chat seems to want you to keep pushing your limits and you'll have to if you want to be a hero. Do you? Hello Cruel World puts your ingenuity to the test. Think fast, think on your feet, and think outside the box. Designed from the ground up to take advantage of VR's interactive capability, Hello Cruel World asks you: just how far are you willing to go to sate the curious thrill spurring you on?

Steam marketplace comparison data

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: Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $19.99
  • Highest observed: $19.99

Hello Cruel World's USD price history spans from Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 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 $19.99, the highest is $19.99, and the first visible tracked price is $19.99. 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: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Hello Cruel World's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

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 $19.99, from Sep 24, 2026 through Sep 24, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $19.99. The latest run records $19.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $19.99
  • Current list price: $19.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Hello Cruel World at $19.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. 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.
