Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.4/day in the week to Jul 20 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
D3AD HAND now includes R3D STAR - a full new bonus and more challenging adventure featuring hours of new content!
Crack the code, feed the cat, save the world.

D3AD HAND is a darkly comedic point-and-click adventure set in a crumbling Cold War missile base deep in Siberia. You are Yuri Spraytyvich, freshly appointed Junior Strategic Missile Force Manager, tasked with holding together the decaying Čerëmuški Command Post.
But when PERIMETER-the Soviet automatic defense system-mistakenly initiates a nuclear launch, it’s up to Yuri (and your wits) to stop the end of the world. Navigate sabotage, radiation, worker strikes, and absurd bureaucracy in a race against doomsday.

R3D STAR: Uncover the fate of Sputnik and thwart the devious plans of Major Perestrova in your continued quest to prevent global annihilation.
◉ Unique alternative history setting and pixel art style.
◉ Tongue-in-cheek humour.
◉ Elegant point 'n' click control of character.
◉ Ideal for newcomers to the genre, familiar and nostalgic for veterans.
◉ Multiple different endings to discover.
◉ Play as Stalin (the cat) in R3D STAR to help Yuri using your feline skills!

A few puzzles in and enjoying this. It's a good time with some perfectly ridiculous writing/acting and puzzles so far.
Lasting at least a puzzle-filled four hours, the two standalone chapters now collectively comprising D3AD HAND are a welcome diversion and some much-needed laughs in our war-plagued real world, gently poking fun at the Russian military machine. Especially in the larger “R3D STAR” update, the ongoing switching between human and cat brings greater gameplay diversity, and overall the combination of humor, wonderful pixel art, exciting music and variety of puzzles make you wish for an even longer game. Instead I’ll look forward to Duck Made Of Wood’s next game already in progress, as D3AD HAND is such a promising debut for a developer that shows the potential for stardom. https://adventuregamehotspot.com/review/6357/d3ad-hand

This is an excellent adventure game featuring top-tier puzzles and humor. The puzzles are superb, and the structure is non-linear, reminiscent of the classic LucasArts style. There are numerous locations, and they are all accessible in parallel. The characters are brilliantly written, and the voice actors deliver their lines with a tone that is genuinely hilarious—almost like over-the-top, slightly psychopathic fanatics. The setting is highly original and truly works. The gameplay gains significant depth from the fact that you control two characters simultaneously; one of them has special abilities that are utilized perfectly through the design of clever, non-trivial puzzles. Graphics & Visuals Exterior Locations: More than decent, though the lighting could have been handled better. Interiors: Honestly, they leave a bit to be desired. Character Models: Well-made and fun to look at, with sufficient animations. A Note on the "Introductory" Game So far, I’ve been reviewing the main game. However, I should mention that before the main experience, there is a short prequel/prologue—likely an adaptation from a game jam—which has lower graphical quality. The background art in the initial locations is, objectively speaking, quite ugly. But trust me: it gets much better. In this first segment, the puzzles are good, though there are several mini-games. personally, I’m not a fan of mini-games in adventure titles, but I have to admit that in this case, they are actually quite charming, never annoying, and never too difficult. Final Verdict Returning to the main game (the one with the vast number of locations): I repeat, it is truly excellent and not to be missed. At this price point, it is an absolute steal.
I used to live in Siberian military base with silos and nukes until I was a teenager. (Not in Chita though, but in Omsk). And if you may think it is funny, I think this game is truly a documentary. ✍️ (it's pronounced not CHEEtah, but chiTAH, the stress is off, if you can still fix it, please do).
Great game. Good music (sovietwave). Humor. And puzzles. Happy I found this one. Real gem. Also it offers 2 games for the price of one and tons of achievements and the free OST... After you enjoy D3EAD HAND, you are offered to play RED STAR as a DLC...but you enter a new dimension because the DLC is ten times longer than the actual game, more puzzles, more story, more dialogues, and a great finish. All that for the price of a pack of milk. That's absolute bang for the buck, never had so much content for so little. Also everything is voiced old style with a different line for right click and each items and tons of lines + a hint system which is very clever. I really thought it was developed by russians...until I discovered it was a italian studio !!! Waiting for their next game (8 bit). I rate this one 10/10. P.S: thanks for the generous soul offering a guide for both game on steam even if it's incomplete. and thanks for the team to help with puzzles...
Great game, brilliant art and fantastic humour. The 'main game' is completable in 1-1.5 hours, the FREE DLC R3D STAR is around triple the length with a lot more locations and puzzles. Full disclosure, I voice the character of Babushka in R3D STAR but I promise that hasn't made this review biased. Great game and a steal for the price!
Helo Komrade, me is old mothertanker and tankmother, probably one of the oldest soviet in the soviet world playing this. I am a single tanker to my TankFather, who is 54 now. This game given to us by great government of soviet nation through refistribution system. We installed g3me on tankcomputer of my Son, Spirit and Holy Ghost as we are catholic and not protestant. By end of week he could not finish ONE puzzle, he was very durak komrade. This was horrible, as with my tanker job it was already hard to find ways to spend time with my TankSon (ROOM ROOM), as he is always out drinking vodka with water, and vodka with lemon, and vodka with orange, and vodka with mandarins and kvass. So i decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe help with puzzles. I loaded and started playing but was stuck on what to feed cat. I asked my Tank for directionz. He knew nothing he only made references to Game of thrones, I know not what he talking bout. It was the best time I had spent with my Son since goverment took wife away and replaced her with furry monster in suit. Together with son we solved all puzzles, finished game and what I see?? NEW GAME??? MORE TIME??? I NO HAVE TIME. TIME HAS BEENT AKEN AWAY FROM ME FROM GOVERMNENT. but otherwise very good game, good length, good puzzles we enjoy jokes about third wall from the moon breaking. nice very nice. durak.
Feels like a classic point & click game. Similar to teen agent.
Love it! SO CUTE so much fun and didn't expect me to ever say this, LOVE U STALIN!
