Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 21 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Как всегда, одна из игр Франциско Гонсалеса (Грундисла Геймз) и Дэйва Гилберта (Уаджет Ай) - очередной маленький шедевр. Игры от этих издателей давно являются любимейшими. Интересный сюжет, эмоциональная история, погрузившая очень атмосферно в те времена Америки, в общем-то не очень далекие от наших, причем очень многое основано на реальных событиях, о чем создатель игры интересно рассказывает в комментариях, так что советую играть с ними. Классное ретро (или немного нуар?), яркие персонажи, реалистичная драма, квесты не очень сложные, интересно и спокойно проходится. Великолепная классика! As always, this game is one of the games by Francisco Gonzalez (Grundislav Games) and Dave Gilbert (Wadget Eye) is another little masterpiece. Games from these Creators have long been favorites. An interesting plot, an emotional story that immerses you in a very atmospheric way in those times of America, in general not very far from ours, and a lot is based on real events, which the creator of the game talks about interestingly in the comments, so I advise you to play with them. Cool retro (or a little noir?), bright characters, realistic drama, quests are not very difficult, but interesting and easy to complete. Great classic!

I enjoyed this game, but others playing A Golden Wake might not connect to the story or appreciate it as I did. The reason this game and its story appealed so much to me is that I grew up in Miami, Florida, in the 1960s, and lived there until the late 1980s. My family home was 4 blocks from the Coral Gables entry arch, a monumental gateway built in the 1920s by city founder George Merrick, and 3 blocks away from Flagler Street in the other direction. My siblings and I spent every summer riding our bikes through the streets of Coral Gables to the Venetian Pool, our favorite summer hangout. The historic Venetian Pool, built in 1924 by George Merrick, as seen on this game's store page and in the game itself, was depicted quite accurately, including the surrounding Venetian-style architecture. The game is described as being based on real characters and events, although the story itself and the main character, Alfred Banks, are fictional. Side characters, such as George Merrick, Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, and Fatty Walsh, were actual people from that era. I also recognized every single street name mentioned in the game and was very familiar with those locations, as well as buildings, such as the Biltmore Hotel. What's funny is I don't normally like pixel art games, and I don't usually buy or play them; however, I think it was the story description that encouraged me to give it a try, and I wasn't disappointed. I appreciated this game for its historical accuracy and for bringing back long-forgotten memories of my youth. The gameplay and story weren't too bad either. I think it was worth the price, although I did get it on discount.

Langweilig und unsympathische Charaktere, kein Spannungsbigen, nix
Gostei.
A Golden Wake was a simple point-and-click story in an interesting setting. The puzzles weren't the best, with a lot of straightforward object combinations using things gathered within the same scene and some more complicated ones that weren't intuitive. I didn't like the conversation puzzles because there didn't seem to be any reason why one set of choices worked and another didn't. What I did like was the 1920s Miami setting and the lead character's frustrations at getting started in his business ventures. The voice acting was good and the music was funky. I appreciated the effort to get some history lessons in there too. All in all, I played it to the end and was satisfied, but it's not on my list of favourites. I played the whole thing bug free on a docked, desktop Steamdeck, which is better than the "unsupported" rating it shows on the store page.
I loved this game! It is based on a real place and real people. The story moves quickly with puzzles and tasks that are entertaining. The dialogue and voice acting are very well done. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes historical fiction.
Great background art, and an interesting setting. Fun indie game. It tries very hard to make sure you won't get stuck anywhere. Some people might say it's too easy, but I think it's just a fun interactive experience and not trying to be a challenge.
Un point & click detectivesco ambientado en el boom inmobiliario de Florida de los años 20, con ese encanto inconfundible del pixel art bien ejecutado. Me encantó la trama: te atrapa desde el principio y te lleva por giros inesperados que, al menos en apariencia, dependen de las decisiones que tomas. Buenos personajes, buen guión, y un ritmo de juego relajado que te deja centrarte en la historia sin prisas. Si eres amante de los point & click con sabor detectivesco, no te pierdas esta joya.
A really solid game! Although the final part felt a bit rushed.
