- Spooky RPG that vanished from Steam suddenly resurfaces for free - 10 July 2023
Betrayer . Perhaps you've never heard of it, or perhaps you've heard its name whispered around the Reddit and gaming forum campfire, as internet yarn spinners tell of a mysterious, horror-inflected RPG created by former developers of Monolith's FEAR series.
