Hell(o) Martyrs,

Thank you for the successful premiere of Agony UNRATED!
It looks like the game really appealed to you!



Some players have reported problems related to the lack of UNRATED in their Steam library, even though they have the basic Agony.

Together with Steam, we are working on resolving this issue, but we need to take all your situations individually.

Therefore, we ask that each player who experienced this issue to send us an e-mail in this matter, titled "Agony UNRATED access code".

Please send e-mails to this address: backers@madmind-studio.com

Take care,
The Hell Messenger

Hell(o) Martyrs,

It is with great pleasure that we want to inform you that our newest game, Agony UNRATED, premieres now on Steam.

Agony UNRATED is available on Steam and it costs 14,99$ / 14,99€ / 49,99 zł.

Thanks to Steam’s help, we have managed to combine the basic version of Agony with Agony UNRATED. This means the game is completely free for any user who already has the basic version of Agony in his Steam library - regardless of when he bought it.

Check out the official trailer:

Have a spooky Halloween,

Dear Console Players,

We are aware that you are disappointed because you cannot play Agony UNRATED but, like we stated before, it is not possible to publish the digital uncensored version of our game on consoles.

You have also asked about the improvements that are a big part of Agony UNRATED. Replacing 3D models and textures, adding new functionalities and gameplay mechanics and adding new lighting, would require re-certification and the game would have to be re-sent to rating agencies.

Creating UNRATED as a DLC is not possible.

We cannot even do it on Steam because it would mean disregarding rating agencies and changing the target group, which is illegal due to the fact that the owners of the basic Agony version have paid for the censored version and we simply cannot change the rating.

Therefore, the release of Agony UNRATED is possible only as a separate application, unrelated to age ratings.

The only possibility for Agony UNRATED to appear on consoles is to publish it as a physical version.

Few stores would decide to distribute such a game, therefore finding a publisher who would be interested in producing UNRATED for consoles is extremely complicated.

In order for us to have a chance to do so, we need to have a basis that will show the potential publisher that his investment will return and allow him to earn.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed for the positive reception of Agony UNRATED on Steam because the probability of the console version depends on its success.

A lot of us at Madmind own both Xbox One and PS4 and we would really love to have Agony UNRATED for consoles in our collection. Therefore nothing is sealed yet and we will inform you if we know anything more.

Thank you for your continuous support and understanding,
Madmind Studio

Hell(o) Martyrs,

Madmind Studio would like to inform you that today we have finished work on the uncensored version of Agony.
Agony UNRATED will make its debut this Halloween, 31th October.

We are aware that the premiere of our first game was disappointing for many players, as numerous technical errors and censored content effectively distracted from the game.
We would like to apologize for the mistakes we made and to compensate players for a long time waiting for the UNRATED version, making it available at a significantly lower price.

Agony UNRATED will be released on the STEAM platform, at the price of 14.99$/14.99€/49.99PLN.
Players who already have regular Agony in their Steam library will receive a 90% discount on the UNRATED version.
Agony UNRATED will be made available for free on 29th October for all Agony Kickstarter backers.

Unfortunately, but the contracts we have in force, both publishing and rating, blocked us from releasing the patch and removing the censorship from the game. Any lawsuit related to the violation of these rules would most likely lead to the closure of our studio.

To release Agony Unrated, we had to choose an alternative route and remain in the shadows by announcing the suspension of our work on the game. Today, after a few months since the release of Agony, the deadline for contracts binding us has passed and we can share these details with you.

At the moment, the PC is the only platform that gives us the freedom to create the world we've come up with. This, unfortunately, means Agony Unrated can never appear as a Digital Edition on consoles.
If players and reviewers positively receive Agony Unrated, we will try to get a contract with the publisher who will agree to issue a limited number of copies of the boxed game, both on PS4 and Xbox One.
The release of the game in a box version is the only option for the production with the "Adult Only" age rating to appear on consoles.

We would like to inform that thanks to establishing cooperation with our colleagues from Ultimate Games, Agony will also be released in the Nintendo Switch version. The premiere is planned for the end of 2018.

Agony Unrated features a full-fledged story mode as well as an open challenge system that randomly generates levels for players to explore and survive to gain new Highscores. Agony throws players in the midst of hell where they strive to stay alive and solve the riddle behind the mysterious Red Goddess; architect of this place of sorrow and pain, and the sole entity with knowledge of how escape… but there is more to the story than it seems. Haunted by nightmare creatures, players gain the ability to possess demons and other souls to find their way out of hell.
