## 1. Halls of Torment — the developer's own full content list
-
-
Halls of Torment publishes a complete content manifest on its Steam store page. Quoted verbatim from the
-
*Full Content List* section of [its store page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/)
-
(read 2026-09-06 via Steam's public `appdetails` endpoint — query in §4):
+
Recorded from the developer’s [Steam description](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2218750/Halls_of_Torment/):
| Content | Count |
|---|---:|
@@ 43,17 20,9 @@
| Quests | 500 |
| Traits that upgrade characters and abilities | 1000+ |
-
For context on the game those numbers belong to: $6.66 list, 31,812 Steam reviews at 95% positive, released
App IDs: Halls of Torment 2218750, Vampire Survivors 1794680. The Vampire Survivors stage list is from its
-
official wiki, not from Steam, because the store description states no stage count.
-
-
**Games checked that publish no usable content count**, so that nobody repeats the search: Vampire
-
Survivors, Brotato, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, Noita and Pathogenic give no content manifest in their
-
store text. Two smaller figures did turn up and are recorded for completeness rather than built on —
-
20 Minutes Till Dawn states *"over 50 different upgrades"*, and Brotato's description gives run length
-
rather than counts. Achievement descriptions in Noita, 20 Minutes Till Dawn, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor
-
and Brotato name no stages in a form that could be enumerated.

## What this page does not claim
-
-
No district count is proposed, endorsed or criticised — not eight, not any number. No claim that this
-
project's content counts are too low, too high, or right. No launch-day content figures for any game,
-
because none was sourced (see the box at the top). No sales, revenue or audience claim. No claim that
-
these two games are representative: they are two titles that happen to publish enumerable content, chosen
-
for that reason, which is a selection rule that favours games willing to advertise a big list.

## Bookkeeping
+
The earlier research found the DLC grouping ambiguous; its approximate figure remains approximate.
-
**Method.** Developer store text and one official game wiki, read 2026-09-06 through the public endpoints
-
in §4. Nothing was built, prototyped, tested or played. The §1 cross-check between store-stated stages and
-
achievement-named stages was run because a single figure with no second source is how a wrong number gets
-
into a table; it agreed, with the difference explained.
+
## How to use this information
-
**Stated limits.** Current content, not launch content, and no launch figure was estimated. Two games, both
-
selected because they publish counts. The Vampire Survivors DLC row is approximate because its own wiki is
-
ambiguous there, and it is marked rather than resolved.
+
Distinct locations, enemies, equipment, upgrades and combinations are different dimensions of content. Two games selected because they publish counts cannot establish an appropriate scope. These figures establish neither development effort nor campaign duration.
-
**Corrections.** Kill any figure here by re-running its query and posting the result.
+
Recheck the linked manifests and distinguish current content, launch content and DLC before a comparison. The Steam store description can also be retrieved from `https://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails?appids=<appid>&cc=us&l=en&filters=basic`. App IDs: Halls of Torment `2218750`; Vampire Survivors `1794680`.
