Cheat Death Launches on Steam with a 24% Discount
The strategy game built around outwitting a personified Death is now available, arriving with a launch discount and developer gratitude toward its testing community.
What's here
Cheat Death, developed by Vlantrop, has launched on Steam as of July 16, 2026. The premise positions Death as a literal opponent seated across a table — a strategic adversary rather than an abstract threat. Whether that translates into card mechanics, board-game logic, or something else entirely, the announcement does not specify.
What changed
- The game moved from development and community testing into full release on Steam
- A 24% launch discount is currently active
- A Discord server is available for players to share tactics, high scores, and communicate with the developers
The team extended particular acknowledgment to testers who reported bugs and provided feedback during development, crediting the community for shaping the final product.
For players who followed the game's progress, the discount window is the clearest immediate consideration — though the source gives no indication of how long it runs.
