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

Ridley Scott and Lovecraft had a baby, and it's perfect.
This was a really cool short experience. I would recommend it on sale or at full price, because a lot of love went into this and I'm sure making a VR game isn't easy. I love anything ocean related so I had to try this
Its More of a Ineractive VR Movie than a VR game. Nice experience to explore under water. Option to explore outside rail movement should have been great .neverthless decent experience Its the Easiest game to get 100 % completion. lol

Wow, breathtaking
Nice scenario with some scary moments. Underwater experience in VR can cause dizziness more or less, perhaps sitting in a chair than standing while playing would be more convenient in this case. The only downside of this project is the quality of the assets: very lowpoly, very poor textured for nonsense.
Рекомендую зі знижкою. Зайняло всього 30 хвилин і таке відчуття, що половину того часу я провів просто слухаючи розмови персонажів і дивлячись титри. Це було би ще нічого якби ці розмови відбувались під час руху, а не треба було просто чекати на місці поки вони закінчать свій діалог. Зате вся фінальна секція і загальна розв'язка мені сподобались як візуально так і сюжетом.
Great story and use of the underwater setting. Gets genuinely stressful at a few points if your thalassaphobic at all. Absolutely top-notch voice performance from the cast really sells it.
Very enjoyable game. Mind you its only 30 mins so you probably have to grab it on sale. Story is great and design is beautiful. definitely recommended
The narration is painful, really ruins the experience for me.
7/10 Worth only at sale, as its a 30 mins. Sci-Fi cinematic VR experience. but the quality of experience is great, wish it was a full game. a note, using H265 or HEVC (10bit) doesn't help with color banding.
