So, there's this green-lighted game:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/371440

Except that when you read comments, the game promises 8 levels but supposedly no one except for developer actually beat even first one, furthermore there doesn't seem to be anything in data files containing 7 other levels. Some links with details:

I wonder if anyone at Valve is even looking, much less actually playing greenlight games. It's kind of a pity, though, JotL has pretty unique graphics and I could see it being excellent indie puzzle game if it received a bit of polish, too bad it is, well... this.

There are even worse games ion Greenlight, at least this one looks decent even if has bad reviews, Valve never cared about Greenlight quality, except for porn games and copyright issues.

Valve has its priorities wrong. Frustration makes people angry. Porn makes people happy.

I searched both 'journey' and 'light' on forums, found nothing. Pity it wasn't clearly marked :(

What? As far as I know, search doesn't look inside topics, unless I missed something. Can you explain how I was supposed to know thread with unrelated, generic title deep on page 1 is on the same issue?

don't worry. this same topic was also posted 2-3 days ago. when people don't put a proper thread title (in this case the game) things like this happen all the time.

This was known for a while, it's just that many people are catching up now. If you rename steam_api.dll and CSteamworks.dll to anything else in installation directory of the game, it will not throw an error - meaning it does not have achievement support enabled which only raises the question how did dev got them in the first place. Try renaming those files with any other Steamworks game and see what happens when you try to run it.

Ah, interesting. I was wondering why SAM abusers didn't get these achievements, too, looks like this is the answer.

The biggest scam is that this not-a-game somehow managed to get into an Indie Gala bundle. And I think not-a-game is a fair comment considering the known issues with the title.

You mean refund? Doubt many who buy it now will ask for a refund. Imminent removal of a game will increase sales as collectors will want it.

He says he is going to fix it but then people call him a troll. Why not give him the benefit of the doubt.

Looks like they tried to make a game similar to InFlux, but gave up in the alpha or beta stage and released it as a full game to make some quick cash.

Actually, seems like dev just bought this Unity assset and copy pasted it on Steam as a different game, with some minor level edits.

Wow, I guess I gave him too much credit. It's doesn't look like he did much of anything.

It looks like the person that made the imgur post had more fun taking it apart. Maybe that was the game. Very meta.

Had that suspicion with another steam game called War operations, although i never confirmed it.
I actually asked the devs if they bothered to make more than one level, being completely unplayable and all, highly doubt anyone will ever finish the first level anyway.

Shouldn't he banned from Steamgifts ? http://www.steamgifts.com/user/LordKres

The only games he gave were obvious scams. I don't know if there are any particular rules with that because he didn't won anything but he used Steamgifts to advertise his "games" and finding more people to scam.
