An Arcade Journey Awaits in Prize Denied
The indie game developer snownooo has revealed that its cozy management simulator, Prize Denied will launch this year on Steam. It will arrive sometime in the third quarter of 2025. Players can now put the game on their wish list right now to get instant notification when it finally comes out. Check out the official feature trailer below and get a sneak peek of the game.
In Prize Denied, you were once a generous arcade owner, known for your fair claw machines. But kindness does not pay the bills. Now, you are bankrupt, left with nothing but a single claw machine in your uncle’s garage. It is time to rebuild, but this time you play to win. Customize your machine by unlocking new parts and tweaking the settings. Want to make it fair? That is risky. Want to make it frustratingly tough? That is just good business. Choose trendy prizes to draw in players, then place obstacles to keep those prizes just out of reach.
Take control with action cards that manipulate every aspect of the game. Stop a prize from dropping, lower grab success rates, boost player attraction or increase ratings. Get creative because each card can interact with multiple objects, leading to unexpected and sometimes hilarious outcomes.
Every day brings a new income goal. Hit the target and you can expand your arcade, unlocking new locations and opportunities. At the end of each day, pick a new card to add to your arsenal or shop for extra ones to fine-tune your strategy. The more cards you collect, the more control you gain over the ultimate claw machine empire.
