Reus fits but it was released May 16th.. it's way too new.. The only game I've seen so new in a bundle like that is Botanicula, which debuted in a Humble Bundle and you had to pay $5 for a Steam key.

Reus wouldn't even be a game in the main bundle.. it'd be a bonus.. for $1 minimum.. I don't think the devs are that stupid. Has to be a different game.

wasn't there two games which were launched super cheap? infamous anodyne and one other? of course not in bundle.but still...devs can make odd decisions and gambles.

Maybe you're thinking of McPixel? I'm not sure if Anodyne/McPixel launched at $1 though, they may have been available to buy through the dev's site before then.

The reason they were so cheap was to get greenlit. It's a fantastic strategy to get greenlit, worst strategy ever if you're already on Steam.

No dev has ever done this with a Steam game, aside from Botanicula which priced the Steam keys at $5.

maybe reus isn't selling well as anticipated...as in downright awful.....
the only reasons a newish game already on steam would go into a bundles are if sales r bad or falling or trying to get more exposure.how many indies fall into either category?. probably quite a few unless they are addictive or great like FTL etc

And how well did Botanicula sell after being in that bundle? Does anyone know?

But how can sales be "bad" if it's only been 10 days lol. I don't know, that seems way too soon to pass judgement on how well an indie game is selling or not. Even if they decided they wanted the game to be bundled, I'd think they'd want to be in a Humble Bundle, or at least be a featured game in a different bundle.. not a bonus.

I'm sticking with Stealth Bastard as my guess since these new clues are too vague to make sense to me. The new hints fit Reus, but that game just got released, so I don't know.

BTW, how does 007 fit with Stealth Bastard?

I sure i got Stealth Bastard from a free bundle ? (if i remember right) - will have alook, guess it was greenlit or somat. Thanks you for your thoughts :)

I think it was featured in one of the "free bundles". But that was Stealth Bastard, and not Stealth Bastard Deluxe.

Stealth Bastard is freeware, while the Deluxe version isn't.
