It looks like Unknown 9: Awakening, a game that had some anticipation, has been facing difficulties after its release, particularly on Steam. With only around 200 players and poor reviews, the game’s launch appears to be struggling to gain traction. There could be several factors contributing to this:

  1. Low Player Count: Only 200 players at launch indicates that the game might have lacked a strong marketing push or initial appeal to a broader audience.
  2. Poor Reviews: This could be due to issues like gameplay mechanics, bugs, or unmet expectations, which might have contributed to the game’s negative reception.
  3. Story or Technical Issues: Often, if the narrative doesn’t resonate or the gameplay is clunky, it can lead to players quickly losing interest, especially in a competitive market with many high-quality titles.

For the developers, it’s important to take the feedback from these reviews seriously and consider updates or improvements that can address the issues players are facing, as post-launch fixes and good communication with the community can sometimes turn things around.

Here’s the official description of the game:

“You play as Haroona, a Quaestor born with the ability to venture into the Fold: a mysterious dimension that overlaps our own. On her quest for powerful hidden knowledge, she will learn to master her unique connection to the Fold, which allows her to channel its powers into our world…but such power does not go unnoticed.
