Someone spotted a tricky fix for the Steam Summer Sale

Steam’s summer sale has kicked off, and with it comes a pretty unique event that has users scouring Valve’s store for “top ten games from the distant future,” all stolen by the time-traveling Klortax. . The names and locations in the game remain a mystery, but a clever user has found a clever way to track them down.

The seuls indices that Clorthax donne pour identifier l’identité d’un jeu sont des phrases vagues et rimées – et même si vous trichez et recherchez de titres de jeux pour vous-même, vous n’êtes pas autorisé à les coller dans le champ research. The only way to “solve” the puzzles is to browse the store until you find them.

It’s a clever, if fairly transparent, ploy that lets you scroll through and see as many upcoming games as you can in the store, hoping of course to draw your attention to a selection of delightfully tempting deals from around the world. world. the way you think is too good to pass up. Fortunately, there is a complicated solution.

Reddit user SirPrize posted his quick tip on the Steam subreddit and we can confirm that it works like a charm. Here is a step by step guide:

• On the event page, click the “Search” button next to your suggestion to go to the corresponding store page.
• Then click on one of the subcategories at the top (you can safely ignore the Popular tab).
• Scroll to the bottom of the page, where you should see a horizontal scrolling list of upcoming games.
• Check out this next list, find a game with an oddly formatted price tag, probably priced at “TH.4X”, and you’ll get your answer.
• Just click on it and voila! If you don’t see the game, please skip to the next subcategory and try again.

This trick is much faster than trying unsuccessfully to review all the games on offer, and it can prevent you from being tempted by vendors. There’s even a helpful video example in the Reddit post linked above if you’re still confused. Completing the event will earn you the Clortax Paradox party badge and a new look for your profile.
