Agony UNRATED as a free DLC!
We're pleased to announce that Agony UNRATED, which disappeared from players' libraries after it was removed from the package with Agony, will now also be available as a free DLC for the base game.
After adding the DLC to your library, upon launching Agony you'll be asked if you prefer to play the regular version or the uncensored game.
The DLC will check for the progress you've made in Agony UNRATED, so you should retain access to your saved games and achievements.
Cheers!

Agony missing from the libraries - What's next? [UPDATED]
Hello guys, as you can see, we've set up several separate bundles for different regions, depending on the minimum price that each region allowed us to get away with. It ranges from 65 to 95% off.
It's worth mentioning that this is a temporary solution and the only one available to us using our tools. We are, however, contacting Steam and GOG as well to ask for a significant number of free keys for Agony UNRATED (for those who are unaware, devs can't generate a big number of keys without giving the platform owner a good reason to do so).
If they provide us with those, we'll set up a system where Agony owners will be able to claim their lost copy of the game. Stay tuned here or on our Discord to get an update on that.
ORIGINAL TEXT:
Dear players,
Over the past weekend, we received numerous inquiries from you and requests to explain why suddenly, 3 years after the game's premiere, Agony UNRATED was separated from Agony.
Reminder: So far, every player who bought regular Agony on Steam automatically found Agony UNRATED in their library as well.
At the launch of Agony UNRATED in 2018, we entered into an agreement with Steam whereby the combination of the two games was implemented. Due to the fact that we couldn’t - technically - connect both applications, the Steam crew made the connection.
However, last week Steam decided that the 2018 arrangement has to be changed and the two applications need to be separated. The reason that led to this situation is probably (that's our guess) because some players who intentionally bought the game in the censored version also got access to the uncensored version, which they did not want. (There is also a different age rating for both games).
Accordingly, the two games can no longer be linked together and we were asked to remove any posts & announcements that linked to adult-only versions of our games, which you might’ve noticed as some of the pinned threads have disappeared. We had no choice in the matter as not complying with Steam’s demands could lead to a removal of all our games from the platform.
Using the tools available to us, we tried to find a solution that would be the best for you - players - in this situation. Therefore, we’ll create a special Bundle in which every Agony owner has a 95+% discount on Agony UNRATED (which is the lowest value you can discount that game by) so that the "upgrade" to the unrated version will cost as little as possible. This is the best solution we can think of that’s within our reach, though we’re still in talks with Steam, trying to find another way to resolve this issue.
We are very sorry for this whole situation. Despite the fact that it did not result directly from our fault, it affects the game we created and we feel responsible for everything concerning it. As a developer, we learn from mistakes. The situation with Agony UNRATED was something new for us and we are glad that Steam allowed us to develop a solution that was beneficial for you at that time. We made sure that similar problems won’t show up in the future as all of the adult-only versions of our latest games are DLCs instead of being separate apps on the platform.
It is also worth noting that this situation only applies to players who got Agony UNRATED as a bonus when purchasing Agony. These players have lost access to Agony UNRATED. Players who purchased Agony UNRATED separately are not affected. These players still have full access to the game.

Why did Agony UNRATED disappear from your library?
A lot of you have been contacting us to report that Agony UNRATED has been removed from your libraries. We looked into it and found out that this is indeed the case and the two versions of the game (Agony and Agony: Unrated) were delinked by Steam.
As most of you know, until now, if you bought Agony you also received a copy of Agony UNRATED in your library. This was always our intended way to do this and that didn’t change. As some of you are also aware, games with themes similar to ours can often face some difficulties on this platform.
Unfortunately, we still don’t have full knowledge on why they were delinked and we’re unable to link the games again using our own tools, so we’re now in contact with Steam support to work out the solution that’ll satisfy everyone.
Stay tuned, as we’ll definitely announce any changes here and on our Discord.

AGONY: Lords of Hell
AGONY: Lords of Hell is a new title from the World of Agony, for which the newly created internal team of Madmind Studio - Team Alpha is responsible. The team's task, apart from producing the new game, will also be supporting Succubus in the form of free updates and paid DLC in 2022.
Agony and Agony UNRATED have already reached almost 800,000 players around the world. The players’ appreciation prompted us to release Succubus, a game that was set in the Agony universe, continuing and developing some of the plot and lore. Agony: Lords of Hell shows the events that took place between Agony and Succubus.
The story of the game will tell about the fate of the main characters of Agony and Succubus - king Nimrod and Vydija, a demonic succubus. With the departure of the rightful rulers of Hell, a war for the throne broke out. The lords of hell, ruling over different lands, begin to gather armies of demons to slay the rulers who threatened them. Our heroes will be forced not only to maintain their current position, but also to expand their empire and conquer the enemy territories.
The main inspiration for the gameplay in Agony: Lords of Hell is the iconic Populous series. While the main character of the game - Nimrod, will focus on developing the city and managing the army, the demonic Vydijia will become the main unit controlled by the player. With numerous combat skills and special powers, Vydija will lead Nimrod's army to victory, and will be the key strategic element of every battle. Thanks to her high position among other succubi, Vydija will use her abilities to seduce and then incorporate martyrs, who do not belong to any of the factions, into her own army.
Similar to Agony, we want players to be able to decide about the scale of Agony: Lords of Hell project. In 2022, players from around the world will be able to support this ambitious project using the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform. During the planned crowdfundning, players will decide how extensive Agony: Lords of Hell will be. A demo version of the game will be available to players supporting the game, which will allow them to get to know its unique world, full of dangers, horrors and ... Strategy!
The first trailer of the game will be presented on December 16, 2021, during MADNIGHT 2021: Horror Showcase.
Cheers,
Madmind Studio

Castle Agony: New Game Mode
As it's the Halloween month it would be silly not to add more frightening updates to Castle Agony. This will likely be the last update to the game (bugs aside). This small update adds a new game mode that can be selected from the main menu: SpeedRun.
A time has been added once the mode has been activated and on killing The Master will upload the current time to the Steam Leaderboard. There is also a new achievement associated with this mode called: Speedrunner and will also unlock on killing The Master.
So Start speedrunning
Enjoy fearless vampire killers!
Castle Agony Major Update
It has been a very long time since there has been an update to Castle Agony, but I'm excited to announce a very large one!
I've been working very hard over the last few months making huge improvements, changing the combat system under the hood, bug fixing and adding a new content to aid you in your vampire slaying.
Here is a list of new Content!
- Changed character movement, the screen now moves much smoother and the player character walks faster in general
- Large combat system changes to be more efficient (still looks the same to the user)
- Souls can now be collected as a reward after combat!
- Added a creepy shopkeeper, he appears in 2 different places in the world and you may purchase things from him using souls.
- Added Soul Bow weapon, uses collected souls as ammunition and can be bought from the Shopkeeper.
- Added a new craftable item 'Arrows'. These require 3 new materials to make: Sticks, Flint and Feather
- Bug fixes and crash fixes that were already in the base game.
- Two new steam achievements!
This will corrupt current saves as it was such a large update with new content but I hope you will all find that it's worth it. Combat rewards is definitely a game changer.
Enjoy fearless vampire killers!
