Currently, you can grab Emprom Games’ exhilarating indie title, Bioprototype, for free on Steam. This fresh, Vampire Survivors-style auto battler offers a unique gaming experience due to being made freely available following the original publisher’s breach of Valve’s publishing policy.
Emprom Games expressed regret to their fans in a statement, admitting that the original strategy for compensation following the removal of the game on Steam fell short of fan expectations. However, they’ve now decided to make the game available for free from May 20th to July 20th, 2026 as a gesture of goodwill.
In early 2024, as explained by the developer on Steam, the publisher had breached Steam’s rules. Since we don’t manage the publisher team, we weren’t privy to the specifics of the infraction. This led to their Steam account being permanently banned, and all games they published (including ours) were deleted from the platform permanently.
In addition to the initial creation called Bioprototype, its sequel named Bioweaver was also independently published by the developer. Consequently, Bioweaver remained available for purchase, while unfortunately, the original game was taken off the market.
In a recent statement, the developer admitted that they mishandled the crisis. From June 2024 up until now, our primary focus has been on developing the new project and outsourcing the management of over 100,000 players’ key requests to an external agency. We hoped that by doing this, we could maintain the company’s basic funds. However, our attempts to inform Steam about the situation in order to restore the game were unsuccessful, as we were denied multiple times through various communication channels. This misstep resulted in delays or absence of key issuance.
Over the coming months, the developer has graciously made Bioprototype available for free on Steam! Although Steam Deck currently labels this game as “unsupported,” I managed to run it smoothly on Valve’s handheld device, making for a delightful gaming experience.
Furthermore, those who take up the game, find it engaging enough to purchase the next installment, will receive a 20% discount on the “Bio-series Bundle” upon their purchase.
