Blue Prince

Blue Prince is a blend of strategy, puzzle, and roguelike elements. Players must explore 45 rooms in a mansion within a limited number of moves, where the room layout changes every morning, to find the mysterious 46th room. Blue Prince was developed by the studio Dogubomb and published by Raw Fury.

At the time of writing, Steam users have left 210 reviews for Blue Prince, 80% of which praised the game. Players appreciated the title's difficulty, visuals, and atmosphere. However, some users were dissatisfied with the developers' decision to add a random number generation system for room and item appearances, as this often makes players rely more on luck than strategy during gameplay.

Regarding the language distribution of reviews for Blue Prince on Steam, 84.6% were written in English, 4.5% in French, and 2.4% in Simplified Chinese.

The peak online count for the Steam version of Blue Prince on its release day reached 7,180 players.
