The Crimson Hunt Steam — Review Score, Price and Store Details

The Crimson Hunt is on Steam as a Windows release from Farelas, priced at $9.59 in the US during a 20% launch discount from a $11.99 list price. Buying it there gets you the full game with local split-screen co-op, Steam achievements, full controller support and Remote Play Together, and the store listing is also where the game's current review score lives. This page pulls the store-side facts together so you can decide without opening four tabs.

What the Steam Store Page Confirms

The listing is short and factual, which makes it easy to separate what is verified from what is not. It shows Windows as the platform, a release date of 6 October 2026, the discounted price, and the standard feature row. The short description is the line players quote most often: you play as Victoria, a vampire hunter haunted by her past, and Eleanor, a young woman trapped in a nightmare that has only just begun. The store description underneath expands that into the full pitch around scarce ammunition, vital light and environment-driven puzzles.

The Crimson Hunt Steam Review Picture at Launch

Steam shows 13 user reviews one week after launch and they sit in the positive range, which is a small sample: at that volume a handful of negative reviews would flip the summary, so read it as promising rather than settled. The store page also hosts a launch-week thread from a player who finished the game and linked their own written recommendation, which is the kind of post you see when a small game has an engaged early audience. The itch.io demo listing shows a separate 4.8 out of 5 average from 6 ratings, and that is the only other public score available.

What is missing matters as much as what is present. There are no published professional reviews for the game in the material collected for this page, so any score you see quoted as a critic verdict is not something this page can confirm. The content descriptors on the store page include Frequent Nudity and General Mature content, which is worth knowing before you buy for a shared living room.

Steam Features, Co-op, Achievements and Patches

The feature list is where the Steam version earns its place over a demo download. Co-op is shared or split-screen, meaning two players on one machine, and the launch news post clarifies that the second player can equip any weapon in the game and also gets passive tools that stun enemies or avoid combat. Remote Play Together is listed too, which lets a friend join that local session over the internet without owning a second copy of the game.

Achievements are supported, and the community hub links to the standard Global Achievements page for the app, which tracks unlock rates across all players. Full controller support is listed, and the control scheme documented on the itch.io page maps run, interact, crouch, inventory, dodge, block, heavy attack and shoot across keyboard and gamepad, so a controller is a genuine option rather than an afterthought. Steam Deck compatibility is not documented yet: no verified or playable badge appears in the material collected here, so treat that as unconfirmed.

The first Steam news post after release, dated 7 October, is a hotfix rather than a content drop. It improved performance, fixed an error that made Windows think the game had stopped responding, and significantly reduced scene loading times. It also added a clearer clue for the safe puzzle, which is a small change that tells you the launch build had been judged too vague at that point, and bundled other unspecified adjustments.

• Expect a PC-first patch cadence: the first fix landed within a day of launch.
• Re-read the safe puzzle clue if you played before 7 October.
• Character outfits were postponed to a later update, so do not buy expecting them at launch.
• The news feed is the fastest way to see what each patch changes.

On the purchase decision, the answer for most players is yes: Steam is the only place to buy the full game, and the discounted $9.59 price is the lowest it has been. If you are unsure about the light-and-ammo loop, the itch.io demo is the cheaper test because it is a name-your-own-price download, and the co-op question only matters if you have a second player and a second controller in the same room or a friend willing to use Remote Play Together.
