7 Grand Steps: What Ancients Begat

8 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.

8 on sale2 answered “not sold”5 we did not ask

The 2 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Aug 8: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 8 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 5 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

This game is definitely not for everyone, but I found it to be interesting and fun... until I hit a late game bug that derailed my progress significantly. I'm going to play more, but it was quite frustrating to spend hours building up the economy only to have it bug out and fail. @Devs, let me know if you want my save game or a screen shot. Bug detail: I have a screenshot shared illustrating it, but basically after spendings dozens of turns buying new fields, growing population, expanding grain production, and etc, something bugged out and reported my grain output as 0. Specifically, I had 998 planted fields that yielded 0 grain. I was deposed for spending more grain than was grown. No explanation of famine or other issue - the game just bugged. (or, if this is intended, it really sucks without an explanation as to how that occurred.) EDIT: DO NOT PAY $20 for this game. Get it on sale for $0.99.
