The central game mechanic is trance mode, dubbed by some as a version of "save scumming", where the player can rewind time and retry moments of the game at the player's command. The game was released for Windows on March 25, 2020, and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on August 16, 2023.

The PC version of Iron Danger received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. PCGamesN's review said, "Save scumming is not only okay – it's now an elegant puzzle-solving game mechanic".
Iron Danger was awarded the Creative Achievement Of The Year at Finnish game Awards 2021.
