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.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 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.
About
It is a weekend in late July 2018 when Zane visits the US California Redwoods only to disappear without a trace shortly after arrival. Two days later, the local Police Department locates Zane on the main road near the Redwoods after receiving an anonymous tip. Chief Inspector Carter opens the investigation a few hours later, only to discover that not only does Zane have no recollection of the past two days, but the fact that he has a daughter has been completely wiped from his memory. As the investigation unfolds, more and more clues surface to suggest Zane’s past hides more than just the answer to his amnesia.

Absinthe was unfortunately a miss for me. Going into it, I thought it had some potential. Visually, the game wasn't bad at all. The graphics weren't anything groundbreaking, but they were more than good enough for an indie horror title, and the overall presentation was perfectly playable. The biggest issue for me was the story. It starts with an interesting premise. You wake up with amnesia after being found wandering naked down the middle of the road. The police inform you that you've been missing for several days along with your wife and daughter, Absinthe. As you begin searching for answers, you discover that multiple people have disappeared in the area, with many believing a cult is responsible. That's a pretty solid setup. Unfortunately, after that, the story just started to lose me. A monster suddenly attacks the police station, you escape into the woods searching for the cult, and from there everything felt scattered. The narrative seemed to jump from one idea to another without much explanation, and I never really felt like I understood what was happening or why. Instead of building suspense, I spent most of the game feeling confused. The gameplay itself wasn't broken, and technically I didn't have many complaints. It was really the storytelling and overall direction that held it back for me. Overall, Absinthe wasn't a terrible game, but it just never clicked with me. It had an interesting premise and decent visuals, but the story felt too disjointed for me to really get invested. By the end, I was left more confused than satisfied. Unfortunately, this one ends up on my "didn't finish" list, and it's not a game I'd personally recommend over the many stronger indie horror titles that are out there.

очень плохо!!!!!!...((((
Very shoddy. Awkward, poorly translated English and monsters that aren't scary, combined with unintuitive level design add up to not a fun experience. I lasted until about mid-way through the second area and I could not take it any more. Avoid.
Decent horror game but frustrating due to some game breaking glitches that make you restart a checkpoint to fix. Most notable being the safe near the end of the game despawning... The storyline was intriguing, I only wish there was more closure.
Das Spiel hat wenig zu bieten. Es ist weder spannend noch gruselig. Über weite Strecken ist es einfach langweilig und unkreativ. Hier wird einfach das Standardprogramm abgespult und gut ist. Ich kann das leider niemanden empfehlen. Ich habe aber auch echt schon größeren Schrott gespielt und für ein Erstlingswerk, wo jemand einfach mal was ausprobiert hat, kann man das vielleicht noch akzeptieren. Anderer Seits bekommt man an vielen Ecken billigere Spiele, mit einer höheren Qualität (als ich es gekauft habe, lag der Preis noch bei über 5€).

Absolute crap! This game is full of reused assets and similar map structures, the voice acting and grammar is terrible and confusing (especially with puzzles), the enemies are dumber than a chicken stuck in a pillowcase and the game is optimized poorly at times for no reason.
I wanted to like this game, but in the last half, the enemy AI that one shots you, is a little too unfair. I could work with that and die over and over until I got good RNG, but the performance in the last section of the game is horrific. I have an RTX 3080 and even if I put it to the lowest settings at 1080p, it cannot manage 60fps. It is REALLY bad. Wish they made sure the game was stable before putting out on steam. I do not recommend.
