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 Aug 22 → 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.
About
Biolum is a 30 minute narrative experience with light interactivity.
Biolum brings us on an immersive mission into the deepest depths of the ocean to explore the abyss through the perspective of scientific researcher Rachel, voiced by Dominique Tipper (The Expanse). Rachel is guided by expedition leader Eva, a renowned marine scientist, played by Charlotte Rampling (Denis Villeneuve's Dune). As we discover the mysteries of this bioluminescent VR underworld, it becomes clear that this relationship is not as simple as we thought…
Rachael discovers that a luminescent parasite is infecting the ocean flora and fauna. Glowing hybrid underwater oddities swim around us as Rachel and Eva try to understand the scientific meaning. The beautiful bioluminescence is wreaking havoc on the natural ecosystems. How could this have happened and what does it mean?
In this VR story, nothing is as it seems. What’s beautiful very quickly reveals itself to be contagious, and perhaps more dangerous than ever imagined. As Rachel gets infected by these parasites, she faces a mesmeric fight for her mind and body. Inspired by the beauty of deep sea life, Biolum blurs the lines between biological truth and sci-fi and taps into existential themes and cosmic wonder of the great unknown.
Light interactivity woven throughout that advances the storyline and encourages you to become Rachel and immerse yourself into her exploration

nice experience but would have been better without the daughter-mother nagging which gets a little annoying after a bit ..honest review
(PSVR2) Короткое линейное приключение. Плывем вперед, слушаем диалог и любуемся подводным миром.
A well made short VR film.

30分くらいで終わるSFホラー映画みたいな感じ。短いけど未知っぽい雰囲気があって結構怖かった。でもグラフィックはちょっと印象が薄いかも。
The experience only last for about 30 minutes. You follow a researcher who is being led by their team to explore the depths of the ocean. Along the way you find out that things are not as they seem. It was pretty, and fun, but left me feeling a bit dizzy by the end of it all plus my controller had died, not that it affected game play. Overall I give this game a nice 4.2 out of 5. As its not much of a game as it is what it has labeled its self an experience. One and Done. Pick up on sale and enjoy the decent 30 minutes.
A fun little VR movie, very little interactions, but you do have a flashlight. Not a lot of different locations, but well worth it in a sale.

At first, I was really interested in this deep-sea themed game. But after playing it, I realized it was just an immersive VR experience without any interaction with the environment. You just keep listening to two characters talk the whole time. The character you play as starts out normal but becomes increasingly strange, and the ending makes no sense. The only thing I can recommend is that it truly gives a deep-sea feeling. But everything else, I wouldn't recommend. Immersion: 100 Scene Interaction: 0
It's a pretty ~30 minute story with some interaction. A walking simulator if you will.
