This week, a fresh game on Valve’s marketplace is now available at no cost. Based on Steam user reviews for this PC title, it seems to be quite well-received, currently boasting a 94% approval rating among users. While it might be debated that its free status contributes to its high rating, it also broadens the player base, attracting individuals with varying levels of interest – an aspect that could potentially lower its score, as we’ve observed in similar cases before. Historically, games have been given away for free, only to see their user review scores drop.
The game in question, titled “Down the Rabbit Hole Flattened,” is a reimagined, non-VR version of the 2020 VR game “Down the Rabbit Hole.” Originally a VR-exclusive game priced at $20, this new iteration is free. Despite being free, it shares an impressive 94% Steam User Review rating with its original counterpart. Both games were developed by Cortopia Studios and published by Beyond Frames.
In the game on Steam, titled “Down the Rabbit Hole”, you’ll embark on an adventure that unfolds in Wonderland even before Alice arrives. The story revolves around a girl who is searching for her lost pet, Patches, who accidentally wandered into Wonderland. Your role is to guide this girl as she navigates through the enigmatic landscape. However, the course of her journey is in your hands. You shape her destiny by strategically planning her path through an engaging 3D model that surrounds you. As you delve deeper into the game, you’ll encounter various twists and turns, leading you to explore the most fascinating nooks and crannies of Wonderland. Along the way, you’ll solve puzzles, uncover hidden mysteries, and make decisions that influence the narrative’s direction.
As a fervent supporter who’s eager to dive into Down the Rabbit Hole Flattened, I want to share some insights. If you grab it for free on Steam, anticipate spending around 2-3 hours immersed in this PC game. However, if you’re using a Steam Deck, take note that the game’s Steam listing mentions that compatibility with the Steam Deck is currently unknown.

It’s likely that the game is free on Steam because few people might be willing to pay for a 2D version of a less popular VR game from 2020. Additionally, it may serve as a promotional strategy to draw attention to the release of its sequel, Escaping Wonderland, which also debuted on Steam this week.
