Price poll

Degraman: Act I. Vincent
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

The issue of pricing is very important for us and very complex at the same time.

The closer the release is, the more our team thinks about the price of the game.

The amount of content of the game leads to problems not only at the development stage - but also in setting the price for the game.

Most otome games cost $5 - $10 and players are used to this price, but the volume of such games is significantly (3 times or so) less than ours.

And also the sales of the first routes will directly affect the content and speed of the next ones.

No matter how much we love Degraman and work, we still need to eat.

But we are also afraid that the players will simply not understand why the game costs so much.

And we again appeal to you, our players.

In general, we want to ask you something. Imagine that you've seen our trailer - https://youtu.be/EhGTp6XpH90, seen the description of the game, found out that the game will have 3 routes, 20+ hours of gameplay, 80 CGs, 50+ BGs.

How much would you be willing to pay for such a game?

Take the following anonymous survey plz. Only we will see its results.

P.S. The special question: How do you evaluate whether the price of the otome game is fair? By the number of routes, hours of play, <wtf>CGs</wtf>, reviews, letsplays, or something else?
