Multiverse announced that the 80% discount—pricing *Pax Autocratica*, currently in Early Access, at 770 yen—during the Steam Autumn Sale was the result of an error in setting the discount rate.

The original discount rate was 20%, but an error was made when setting up the sale

The game is currently on sale on Steam for 770 yen—an 80% discount from the regular price of 3,850 yen. WhileSteamDBlists this as the all-time lowest price, an important notice regarding the incorrect discount rate is posted at the top of the store page.

According to an announcement posted by the developer on the Steam forums, the originally intended discount rate was 20% (equivalent to 3,080 yen), but an incorrect value was entered when setting up the sale.The developer has described this as a “completely human error” and apologized for the confusion and concern it caused. They have reportedly contacted Steam Support to discuss whether the issue can be corrected as soon as possible.

An 80% discount less than two months after the Early Access launch could easily be perceived as a fire sale before development ends.Perhaps mindful of this, the developer emphasized that they have neither abandoned nor canceled the game’s development, nor is this a final “going-out-of-business sale.” They explained that they are continuing to work on major updates during Early Access, which have been discussed with the community.

However, the announcement did not mention when the fixes would be implemented.

A Colony Sim × Roguelite FPS Set in a Totalitarian State

This title is a hybrid of a colony sim and a roguelike FPS set in a dystopian sci-fi world.

As the leader of a totalitarian state, players assign citizens to tasks such as mining, research, and the production of weapons and food, building a self-sufficient colony from a handful of survivors. It’s up to the player to decide whether to rule through fear, propaganda, and surveillance, or to win loyalty through comfort and prosperity.

In combat, you step onto the battlefield yourself in first-person view, leading your troops into large-scale battles featuring a mix of infantry, tanks, and mechs. You can also capture weakened enemies, bring them back to your base, and reform them into citizens.Use “Cores” collected during expeditions to upgrade weapon performance and reinforce your units, crafting different builds for each expedition.

The Early Access period is expected to last approximately two years, and the price is scheduled to increase upon the official release. As of this writing, the game has garnered about 3,300 user reviews on Steam, earning a “Very Positive” rating with 91% of reviewers recommending it.

*Pax Autocratica* is currently available in Early Access for PC (Steam). The price is 3,850 yen, but as of this writing, it can be purchased for 770 yen—an 80% discount.
