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 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.
About
Bad Dream: Purgatory is a surreal point and click game set in an abandoned and forgotten project, filled with unused characters from a cancelled game. These characters are trapped in a state of limbo, suspended in nothingness without any purpose or direction. It's up to you to decide their fate and give them the meaning they so desperately crave. "You can't die if you've never lived" - but what if you only exist as a first thought, a person without any depth?
Unlike previous Bad Dream games, Purgatory is presented in a side-scrolling format giving players a more immersive and personal experience. The artstyle is simplistic, with hand-drawn illustrations that perfectly capture the game's atmosphere.
Important: The game has a full Point & Click mode with a static camera.
The game consists of three chapters. Two of them (the introductory one and the simplified ending) are linear. The open world is non-linear and includes all achievements and a "true ending."
Game Features:
A non-linear chapter allowing you to hunt for secrets and achievements
Two modes of gameplay (side-scrolling or static camera)
Interactive environment
Sound environments - SFX sound different in different rooms (echo, muffled sound, etc.)
Custom music and sound effects ( I learned how to compose my own music and I bought a microphone to record my own SFX )
Artstyle - I learned how to draw as well :P
A game made by one person - Guys. I even drew my own fonts :P To be fair I wasn't able to record ALL SFX myself, but other than that I made this game alone. Btw. NO AI
This is version 2.0, released in July 2026. It includes a multitude of changes, improvements, and fixes. The biggest one is the switch from 2.5D to side-scrolling mode.
(The first version is still available for download as the "old version" - tutorial in the pinned post)

I can't sadly recommend the game as I'm stuck trying to pick up the bird cage. Every time I try to do it, the game crashed without any message. Haven't found a solution yet. If you play the game, I recommend you boost the FOV, otherwise you might get dizzy like me. To do so, press escape while in game (not in the menu).
Purgatory stands out among the other Bad Dream games with its 3D setting/movement and very minimalistic atmosphere. Like the other games, there's a lot of paths to explore (particularly in the open world) and your choices will influence how things change to an extent. The puzzles can be rather confusing in the open world, but it's satisfying when you finally figure out how to progress. There are a lot of secrets and paths I haven't been able to figure out yet, but I hope I'll get there eventually. Someone really needs to make a walkthrough... that said, it's a fun game that's worth buying if you're willing to accept the challenges!

Oh boy! This game definitely shows high quality, especially from the direction 2D to 3D exploration. Although there's not much to talk about other than in generally it is a very small game. You have the main story chapters combined with open world exploration. Open world exploration however is the main attraction since you'll need loooots of running back and forth. Meaning plenty of interactions to do if you are up for secrets and every nook and crannies to find! (I highly suggest you to increase your character speed inside options once done with main storyline to make it easier) It dooooes become a bit repetitive but it's worth knowing you kinda get very used to it and the horror aspects become more of a reward than seeing them a scare. But glad to see some personality does evolve and story does thicken from other entries to this one. Did spent fair amount of time so not complaining.
I love the other Bad Dream games by DesertFox but this one? I hate it. I don't like the 3D aspect or the controls and the "story" is complicated to figure out. I'm not a fan of this style and I don't recommend this game.
Coś Innego 2.5D Jest Ciekawe Co Najmniej
Intenté darle una oportunidad pese a no gustarme la jugabilidad pues me han gustado todos los juegos anteriores a este, sin embargo me mareó la vista, no me gustó lo confuso que es, no saber si estás haciéndolo bien o mal, no es lineal, sino que te permite darle más usos a un mismo objeto sin decirte que tal vez lo necesitaras más adelante y pues jodió todo si ya lo usaste. Personalmente no creo que lo vuelva a jugar y no lo recomendaría.
Не хочу портить статистику прекрасной серии игр. Но 3-д было ошибкой. Очень укачивает, даже самых стойких, хотя рисовка и атмосфера по-прежнему шедевр! )))))
도중에 자꾸 꺼지는데 왜일까여...... ㅠ
the game explores a very interesting idea of unused things alongside with an unusual 2.5D gameplay this game isn't like the other games in bad dream series but it's just as good
Прикольная игрушка, которую если пройти, то можно открыть свободный режим со множеством различных путей прохождения.
