This game is incomplete and bugged, DO NOT BUY IT. Currently 2/21 achievements are unobtainable. The cover art of this game is also AI Generated (despite DEADMAP employing good pixel artists), and I am almost certain the code is AI Generated as well. The major glitch plaguing this game is MONEY RESETTING of all things, in an IDLE GAME. This alone should speak to the level of incompetence on display.
This is literal slop.

When the glitches present in the game were brought up to the developers, one of the 3 devs made the sarcastic comment:
"We understand your frustration. The leveling bug was fixed in the last patch. Right now all efforts are going into the main project. Sorry that a team of 3 people can't simultaneously maintain a small desktop idler and a large 2D adventure game. We'll get back to the remaining bugs as soon as we free up."

Several issue with this arise.
1. The bug mentioned in the first sentence IS NOT FIXED and has been present in the game since launch.

2. This "main project" 'Heart Abyss' has been in development for OVER 3 YEARS, while this game was produced and released in the span of Oct 2025-Nov 2025. Their main project is "so important", that they took a month off to spew out a literal AI generated cash grab.

3. The tone, from a developer, to a paying customer.

This developer does not respect you as a customer, and does not care about providing you with a quality product. If they cannot make an Idler that isn't an incomplete and low-quality mess, I have zero faith in their other games, especially "Heart Abyss", and the devs ability to deliver on any acceptable level of quality. This is a PSA to avoid DEADMAP and all of their games going forward. This level of blatant unprofessionalism and disregard for your paying customers does not bode well for any project they are to release, and as such, you should not give them a single red cent of your hard earned cash.


Edit 01/20/2026
The devs have addressed the issue!

By telling you, the player, to save edit as a "temporary work around" to the incompetent code because "they can not get around to patching it right now". Apparently this has been the case for well over a month for a game that has a current standing life-span of 3 months. But they promise it will be addressed in the next patch! Nevermind the fact that this is equivalent to a developer telling you, the customer, "sorry, can't fix it, cheat/use SAM". Absolutely wonderful customer support. Might as well just give us a window that flashes "POP THE ACHIEVEMENTS WITH SAM DUMMY, THERES NO GAME HERE!" at this point.

Did I forget to mention this workaround doesn't actually... well... work? I did as I was told, modified my save file, and STILL could not get the bugged achievement "Golden Age" to unlock, even cheating. While I was at it, as I seemed to have the developers approval to do so as a "legitimate method", I modified the value for the "ramen sold" to get the "1,000,000 Ramen Sold" achievement. I observed that it did seem to track this value properly, as it was somewhere around 350k, so I stand corrected as only 1 achievement is impossible to unlock.

That does not change the fact that this particular achievement still takes nearly 2000 LEGITIMATE HOURS of doing absolutely nothing as the content well was already dry 12 hours after starting the game, you can still get locked out of an achievement in a waiting based idle game (DRIP), and everything revolving around Golden Age and the money reset being an absolute and utter joke.

There's also something very off and suspicious about this game when I record it. My recording software does not show any audio being picked up, I have the game very specifically muted, and no audio was heard at all while recording. Yet when I go back to edit the recording down, they magically have a peaking, ear splitting, droning audio ONLY IN THE RECORDING that is this games audio slowed down significantly and DB levels through the roof. This is abnormal behavior that no other game has exhibited in the well over 300 videos I have recorded. Someone with more technical knowledge than I may wish to look into the phenomenon, but it is very sketchy and suspect behavior coming from a game that is very likely vibe-coded.

This dev team is also run by cowards. It's a-ok for them to swindle you out of your money, but don't you dare insult them for cheating you. They're very sensitive and love to delete posts to hide the facts and will ban you from discussions despite the fact you speak the truth. Maybe don't lie, cheat, and steal from your customers?

My stance remains.
Don't buy it. Avoid DEADMAP (developer) and Herocraft PC (publisher). If they're a-ok letting their developers release broken, unfinished games like this, and will not hold their devs to task for it, then they obviously don't care about providing you with honest business, service, or a worthwhile product. This a 3 month old game and support for it stopped after the first month. That should tell you absolutely everything about their level of respect for their customers. You can even go and look at the reviews for the majority of the other games Herocraft PC has published. Almost ALL OF THEM make mention of the games being abandoned shortly after release or being incomplete. Nothing this scam artist of a publishing company puts out should be purchased, and quite frankly I have to wonder how they are even allowed to publish games on Steam at this point.
