Chill Z: Discontinuing Sales

Hey everyone,

This year marks 10 years of ZELENIUK GAMES! This is a very important milestone for me, and the Chill series has been a big part of my solo developer journey.

As part of my 10th anniversary celebration, I came up with #unshovel. With this initiative, I am going to fix my past mistakes and clean up the store from the shovelware I've filled it with. And let’s be honest: these games are pure trash. Instead of pretending they don't exist, I’ve decided to put them all in one place and unshovel the store a bit. To keep it simple, I’m officially discontinuing sales for Chill II, Chill Z, Chill IV, and Chill X in the coming days.

What this means for you:

  • Cleaning up the Store: I’m removing the trash from the Steam store, but the content isn't gone. I am moving all the content from the sequels directly into the original chill game.

  • Your Library: If you already bought any of these games, they aren’t going anywhere—they will stay in your library forever.

  • Important Note on Refunds: If you recently bought any of the sequels (Chill II, Z, IV, or X), I highly recommend you request a refund through Steam. Since all that content is now available for free within the original chill update, there's no reason for you to pay twice.

Thanks for sticking with me and supporting my work. Go check out the new update in the original chill to see all the integrated content, and stay tuned for more news regarding the 10th anniversary!

Sincerely,
Vitalii Zeleniuk
