Madness Survivors: A Case Gone Dark

Version: 1.0 |  Effective date: November 3, 2026

PLEASE READ THIS END USER LICENCE AG\nREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING, ACCESSING OR USING THE GAME. This Agreement is a legal agreement between you and Antikythera Archives, a company incorporated under the laws of Italy (“Antikythera Archives”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

This Agreement governs your licence to install and use Madness Survivors: A Case Gone Dark , including its software, updates and associated materials (collectively, the “Game”). The Game is distributed through the Steam platform, operated by Valve Corporation (“Steam”).
Important: This Agreement does not limit or exclude any consumer rights that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. In particular, nothing in this Agreement affects mandatory rights you may have under the consumer-protection laws applicable in your country. By installing, accessing or using the Game, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Agreement and agree to be bound by its terms. If you do not agree, do not install, access or use the Game and, where applicable, follow Steam’s procedures for uninstalling the Game.

If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity. In that case, “you” refers to that entity. If you are a consumer, you enter into this Agreement for purposes outside your trade, business, craft or profession.

Your purchase, payment, account, access to the Steam platform and any refund are also subject to the applicable Steam Subscriber Agreement, Steam policies and purchase terms. This Agreement governs your use of the Game as licensed by us; it does not replace or amend your agreement with Valve.
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and the applicable Steam terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable licence to install and use the Game in object-code form, solely for your personal, private, non-commercial entertainment purposes, on devices that you own or control and as permitted by Steam and the applicable platform.

This is a licence to use the Game, not a sale or transfer of ownership of the Game or any intellectual property rights in it. The licence is effective for as long as you are entitled to access the Game through Steam, unless it is terminated in accordance with this Agreement or applicable law.

You may make only those copies, installations and uses that are reasonably necessary for the permitted use of the Game and allowed by Steam and applicable law. Any rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us and our licensors.
You must not, and must not attempt to help or allow anyone else to:

• copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense or otherwise make the Game available to third parties, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, Steam or applicable law;
• modify, adapt, translate, alter or create derivative works of the Game, or create, use or distribute mods, modifications, add-ons or unauthorised tools for the Game;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Game, except to the extent that such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• remove, obscure or alter copyright notices, trade marks or other proprietary notices in the Game;
• circumvent, disable or interfere with security features, access controls, anti-cheat measures or technical restrictions in or associated with the Game;
• use cheats, bots, hacks, exploits, unauthorised automation, modified clients or other unauthorised third-party software to gain an unfair advantage or interfere with the Game;
• interfere with, disrupt, damage or impose an unreasonable burden on the Game, its multiplayer functionality, EOS or related networks or infrastructure;
• use the Game in violation of applicable law, third-party rights or the applicable Steam terms; or
• use the Game for commercial purposes, public performance, paid services or other exploitation without our prior written permission.

Notwithstanding the personal, non-commercial-use licence and restrictions on commercial use and public performance elsewhere in this Agreement, you may record, livestream and publish gameplay footage of the Game, including commentary, reviews and tutorials. You may monetise that content through platform advertising, subscriptions, sponsorships and viewer donations.

Nothing in this Agreement prohibits an act that applicable law expressly permits and that cannot lawfully be restricted by contract. In particular, any statutory exceptions relating to interoperability, backup copies or decompilation remain unaffected to the extent they apply.
We may provide patches, updates, upgrades, fixes or other changes to the Game, including changes required for compatibility, security, legal compliance or the operation of online features. Where required by applicable law, we will provide updates necessary to keep the Game in conformity for the applicable period.

We may modify, suspend or discontinue particular features, including online features, where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, legal compliance, technical reasons or the operation of the Game. Nothing in this section gives us the right to remove paid-for functionality in breach of mandatory consumer law.
The Game includes online multiplayer functionality. To provide that functionality, the Game uses Epic Online Services (“EOS”), provided by Epic Games, Inc. and/or its affiliates (“Epic”), including services used for matchmaking and online connectivity. Use of multiplayer features requires an internet connection, a valid Steam account and the availability of the relevant third-party services.

Multiplayer functionality may be unavailable, interrupted, delayed, modified or discontinued due to maintenance, outages, network conditions, security issues, platform requirements or circumstances outside our reasonable control. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability of online features. This does not exclude any remedy or responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory consumer rights where applicable.

Your use of Steam and EOS may also be subject to the applicable terms, policies and privacy notices of Valve and Epic. You are responsible for complying with the rules applicable to your Steam account and use of those third-party services.
When using multiplayer features, you must act lawfully and respectfully and must not:

• cheat, exploit bugs deliberately, manipulate matchmaking or use unauthorised software or devices to obtain an unfair advantage;
• harass, threaten, abuse, stalk, defraud or impersonate another player;
• disrupt or interfere with another player's ability to use or enjoy the Game;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to another account, the Game's systems or any third-party service; or
• use multiplayer functionality for unlawful purposes or to infringe another person's rights.

We may investigate reasonably suspected violations. Where proportionate and permitted by applicable law, we may issue a warning, restrict or suspend access to multiplayer features, or take other reasonable protective measures. The measure will take account of the nature and seriousness of the conduct and, where appropriate, whether it is repeated. We will not use this section to remove rights or remedies that mandatory law grants to you.

Where reasonably practicable, we will provide information about a restriction and an opportunity to contact us to challenge it, subject to security, fraud-prevention, legal and third-party platform constraints.
The Game and all related content and materials, including its software, code, artwork, graphics, text, audio, music, characters, designs, names, logos and other elements, are owned by or licensed to Antikythera Archives and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited licence expressly granted in this Agreement, no ownership or other intellectual property rights are transferred to you.

All trade marks, service marks, logos and names belonging to third parties remain the property of their respective owners. Nothing in this Agreement grants you any right to use them except as necessary for the ordinary permitted use of the Game.
The Game incorporates or uses certain software, components, tools, services, technology and other materials provided by Epic, including Distributable Code and other materials made available in connection with Epic Online Services (collectively, the “Epic Materials”). Epic is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 8 to the extent permitted by applicable law.

THE EPIC MATERIALS AND EPIC ONLINE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY EPIC ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EPIC AND ITS LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, COMMON-LAW DUTIES AND OTHER TERMS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, IN RELATION TO THE EPIC MATERIALS AND EPIC ONLINE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION OR ERROR-FREE PERFORMANCE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EPIC, ITS LICENSORS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE EPIC MATERIALS OR EPIC ONLINE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY INTERRUPTION, UNAVAILABILITY, FAILURE, ERROR, DEFECT OR LOSS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE EPIC MATERIALS OR EPIC ONLINE SERVICES.

The exclusions and disclaimers in this Section 8 are expressly made for the benefit of Epic and its licensors in relation to the Epic Materials, as required by the Epic Online Services Developer Agreement. They apply only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in this Section excludes or limits any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or changes any mandatory responsibility that Antikythera Archives may have to you under applicable law.

Epic is not the publisher or seller of the Game by virtue of providing Epic Materials or EOS, and this Agreement does not make Epic a party to the licence between you and Antikythera Archives. This statement does not affect any rights you may have directly against Epic under applicable law or any separate agreement with Epic.
If you are a consumer, you may benefit from statutory rights and remedies concerning the conformity of digital content and digital services, including rights under applicable EU and national consumer-protection legislation. These rights may include, where the relevant legal requirements are met, bringing the Game into conformity, a price reduction, termination of the contract or a refund.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any statutory guarantee, warranty, conformity requirement, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. Where the Game does not conform to applicable legal requirements, your statutory rights remain unaffected.

Any voluntary support or warranty we may offer is in addition to, and does not replace, your mandatory statutory rights.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of opportunity or loss of anticipated savings arising from your use of the Game, where such loss is not a reasonably foreseeable result of our breach or otherwise recoverable under applicable law.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for failures or interruptions caused by events outside our reasonable control, including failures of internet connectivity, telecommunications networks, Steam, EOS or other third-party services. This does not exclude liability where applicable law does not permit such exclusion.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct, gross negligence where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, breach of obligations that cannot be excluded under applicable law, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. In particular, this Section does not limit your mandatory consumer rights or remedies.
This Agreement remains in effect while you exercise the licence granted under it. You may terminate it at any time by ceasing to use the Game and uninstalling it from your devices, subject to any separate rights or obligations arising from your Steam purchase.

If you materially breach this Agreement, we may, where proportionate and permitted by applicable law, suspend or terminate the relevant licence or restrict access to affected features. Where the breach can be remedied, we will generally give you reasonable notice and an opportunity to remedy it, unless immediate action is reasonably necessary to protect users, the Game, our systems, third parties or to comply with law.

Termination does not affect rights, remedies or obligations that accrued before termination, or provisions which by their nature are intended to survive termination, including provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, governing law and dispute resolution. Any termination remains subject to mandatory consumer law.
Information about personal data processed in connection with the Game and its multiplayer functionality is set out in our Privacy Policy: https://www.antikytheraarchives.com/madness_survivors_privacy_policy.html . Please read that Policy for information about the data transmitted to EOS, the purposes of processing, recipients and your privacy rights.
This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by the laws of Italy, without prejudice to conflict-of-law rules and, in particular, without depriving consumers of the protection afforded by provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement under the law that would otherwise apply to them.

If you are a consumer habitually resident in a country other than Italy, the choice of Italian law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence, where those provisions apply.

If you are a consumer, you may bring proceedings before the courts available to you under the mandatory jurisdiction rules applicable in your country.
Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the applicable terms expressly incorporated by reference, constitutes the agreement between you and us concerning your licence to use the Game. It does not replace the terms governing your Steam account or any separate agreement you may have with a third-party service provider.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, where legally possible. If it cannot be so modified, it will be severed. The remaining provisions will continue in effect, provided that this does not undermine mandatory consumer protections.

No waiver. A failure or delay by us to exercise a right under this Agreement does not waive that right.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights under it, except where permitted by applicable law. We may transfer this Agreement as part of a corporate reorganisation, merger or transfer of the Game, provided that such transfer does not reduce your mandatory rights.

Language. This Agreement is written in English. If it is translated, the translation is provided for convenience. Where mandatory law requires a particular language or gives priority to a translated version, that law will apply.
