Latest Steam announcements

  • Update 1.09 - 14 July 2025

    Hey everyone! Someone discovered that a few arts were missing, and I traced it back to the thing that loads dialogue art dynamically being busted. Most of the art in the game is pre-loaded and doesn't use this system, but a couple things do. There were some missing stills in a Cafe miniscene, for sure, and there might be a couple others. Either way, they're fixed now! Missing art in a cafe miniscene has been fixed A dialogue portrait of Cadence's cat has been updated to be less freaky looking

  • Update 1.08 - 16 April 2025

    Hey everyone! It's time for update 1.08! This update includes: new miniscene in the Root St Alleyway. Must have made considerable progress with Calico to access. Made the Cadence miniscene in the Root St Alleyway no longer autostart. You now click on Cadence to start the miniscene. revised my least favorite Cadence Email Selfie art fixed lighting in Sunshine Girders Makes Quinn wear his alt outfit in the Convenience store after you've made progress with Mags Quinn, and gives him a few new lines of dialogue added a not-very-helpful help button to the settings menu.

  • Update 1.07 - 3 January 2025

    This update includes: Spelling fixing for some interactions in the Candle Wax Club. Spelling fixes in Beryl 10. A background art has been changed for continuity in Heather scenes. Fixed a background detail on skipnoise ave. Background art of a "Free Use Friday" sign added the the Candle Wax Club, which appears only on Free-Use-Fridays. And finally: Two new miniscenes have been added the the Candle Wax Club. Both are part of the Free-Use-Friday theme and include animations. Its possible that if you've already done a bunch of Free-Use-Friday interactions that one of the two new miniscenes will be inaccessible. If you suspect that's the case, you can enter this cheat code in HCs room terminal to reset the Free-Use-Friday tracking variable: "fuf_forever" Enjoy the new build! Let me know in the comments if there are any bugs or whatever!

  • Update 1.06 - 1 December 2024

    This update is mostly spelling corrections, fixes to sub-pixel misalignment in some small world details, and some small background animations being restored (such as the neon signs outside and inside the Lemon flickering.) There is also a really small content addition to the Rust Pup headquarters. If you've played Jemma 3 in which the head of the Rust Pups has introduced himself by name, you will get access to two new small interactions on certain days in the headquarters (located next to the library). They're only a few lines, but they include new art. Enjoy! Note: I didn't work on the controller issue, but I plan on addressing it soon.

  • Update 1.05 - 15 November 2024

    Some spelling changes. More changes to Skipnoise Ave to maybe make it load faster? And. We may have solved the audio problem but I'm not sure. If someone who has the audio problem can let me know if it sounds any different, or equally as important, if it Doesnt, that would be dope. Enjoy the build!

  • Update 1.04 - 12 November 2024

    Here's what we've got for the 1.04 update: I added an option that will appear when you launch the game on windows . It will allow you to use OpenGL instead of vulcan and your rendering driver. If you've been experiencing those weird missing background arts, try the OpenGL option. Otherwise, proceed with the default. The OpenGL mode messed up one of the shaders in the game, but I added a thing that should disable that shader if you're using OpenGL. If anyone sees anything they suspect is a visual glitches on OpenGL mode, lemme know. We also have some other simpler changes: Slight update to the background art in the hover cafe. Drink-making guide added the the hover cafe, appears After cafe tutorial is completed. Fixed invisible back button in Sal's room. Heather 13 is no longer flagged as explicit. Heather 6 no longer displays incorrect background at the end of the scene. and finally: I…

  • Update 1.03 - 9 November 2024

    Fixed some settings menu behavior. Now if you're in controller mode and the menu detects mouse movement, it will show the mouse. Useful because some people seem to be automatically entering controller mode, which disables camera movement without a keyboard or controller. Also fixed a soft lock condition when the settings menu is exiting in the main menu while in controller mode. Also, the pan speed slider now actually does something. We also did some spelling fixes and corrected a half-pixel incorrect positioning of neck-slot items in the dress up system.

  • Update 1.02 - 8 November 2024

    Ok here's what we've got. Fixed a bug where the art was missing from the EM Driver scene in HC's appartment. But more importantly: I changed it so that the windows version of Hardcoded is no longer a PCK embedded exe. It is now an exe with a separate PCK. I'm hoping that this will solve the problem of the game not launching for some people on windows. If not, I will figure out how to do code signing. Let me know if this works!

Short description

HARDCODED - A non-linear delve through the lives and beds of the people of a cyberpunk city.

About this game

Hardcoded is an open-world dating-sim, set in the lawless reaches of a cyberpunk dystopia, in which you take on the role of a thinking/learning droid who has recently escaped her owners and is on the run. While settling into your new life, you're able to befriend a cast of very horny characters who seek your help to investigate the lewd secrets of the Pira City. Establishing yourself in Pira City means becoming part of the gayest private detective gang reasonably imaginable. Delve in to the cities confusingly horny underbelly to distract yourself from the specter of the life you fled. You can spend your down time earning money, decorating your apartment, buying clothes, collecting sci-fi dildos, and of course, bonding (physically or otherwise) with your new friends. Trans Positivity: Sometimes, there's no more cathartic experience than being around people who understand you. And then giving those people a good dicking down. In many ways Hardcoded is about a trans experience, about the emotion, the alienation, and the hope that come with transition. It's wholesome and positive, but doesn't let those values get in the way of it being vulgar, filthy, porny, smut. Dress Up: There are hundreds of outfit elements scattered between a handful of vendors, and more than a few hidden in Pira Cities nooks and crannies. Enjoy the newfound trans-girl freedom of getting to look however the fuck you want. Decorate your Apartment: Like clothing, furniture is also an abundant find for the wandering robot. Hardcoded is about building a new life after escaping something awful. So build! Carve out something cute in your little apartment. Something that feels safe, or comfortable, or however you want it to! Fuck your Friends: It's a dating sim, but not the kind that wants you to grind up a disposition meter just for a glimpse of tit. Many of the friends you make in Pira City are as excited about you as you are about them. Sex isn't the result of a relationship, but part of the way it blooms. Sometimes, it's even a precursor. Unlock Duo Paths: As you spend time with more of the characters in the games, sometimes their stories will evolve to incorporate others. Hanging out with d…

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $16.99
  • Highest observed: $16.99

HARDCODED's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $16.99, the highest is $16.99, and the first visible tracked price is $16.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

HARDCODED's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $16.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $16.99. The latest run records $16.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $16.99
  • Current list price: $16.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records HARDCODED at $16.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
