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

After agreeing to take on what seems like a mundane story about the unique city and its planned road bridge, journalist James Maynard finds himself uncovering a disturbing underbelly to the local customs, and a hideous core to the notion of Venetian pride.
Not even the might of Mussolini can truly kill the Carnival.
Winner of Best Lines of Dialogue - Adventure Games Of The Year 2025.

Carnival is an atmospheric folk horror point-&-click set in a time of European upheaval, where the past and the future collide. The protagonist must struggle with narcolepsy and its effect on both his memory and perception of the increasingly twisted reality around him.

The game features atmospheric low-resolution pixel art graphics, multiple locations drawn from Venice itself, and developing relationships with NPCs, allowing the player to influence events in the game and achieve multiple different endings.
Carnival now also features the full soundtrack (over three hours of atmospheric soundscapes), playable through Steam, for free!

Developed by Beyond Booleans, creator of Abscission, winner of three AGS awards.

Reviews
Really great game with a very suspenseful and dramatic ending. It starts a bit slow, but the location of Venice is beautiful. Writing is great and the atmosphere very dense. Puzzles are pretty easy for the most part, there was only one that confused me. My biggest complains would be the loud foosteps... they are pretty annoying. :D
[i]Carnival[/i] is a highly atmospheric, slow burning point-and-click adventure in a low-res pixel art. As the English journalist James Maynard, plagued by his own demons and problems, you visit Venice. Actually, you want to write about a car bridge planned to connect Italy with the city in the lagune and reconnect with an old friend, but while interviewing people and exploring the streets, you get the feeling something else is a miss in the city on the water. [i]Carnival[/i] is highly atmospheric, whit great dialoged, character portraits and puzzles. I can not recommend it highly enough for those who are into point and click and “Dark Worlds”/ Lovecraftian-like-horror. Truly a great game that deserves far more attention than it got so far.

Recomiendo mucho Carnival, junto con los otros juegos de Beyond Booleans. Carnival es una historia de terror que va creciendo poco a poco, muy ambiental y con personajes llenos de matices. El humor es oscuro e inteligente, comienza retratando una ciudad cerrada y opuesta al fascismo de los años 30 por fidelidad a una tradición todavía peor. He disfrutado mucho las opciones ofrecidas al periodista protagonista, y el giro final. En los créditos finales se comenta que este juego está basado en una novela del mismo nombre, escrita por el mismo autor, Jacob Prytherch. Este juego es la mejor recomendación para leer el libro.
interesting story, nice atmosphere, not too hard puzzles which suits me. Also, excellent score and audio. recommended!
Bra äventyrsspel!
Definitely made with love. Even though the puzzles are simple and there's a lot to read, this adventure game stands out.
A great adventure game!
Great adventure game! Well written story, beautiful pixel art und gorgeous creepy music. well worth the price!
Well written. Very atmospheric, despite the pixelated art style. Great soundtrack.
Incredible script, excellent characters, and deep themes. This game is one I'll be thinking about for a long time!
