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): 2.57/day in the week to Sep 11 → 0.43/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.86/day in the week to Jul 25 → 1.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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

Buen juego, gran historia!
垂直布局比平地建城难多了,空间得精打细算。但正是这种限制让每一块地都特别珍贵,规划好了超有成就感。
被室友安利过来的 这是AAA制作吧 配乐也挺宏大的 这里面的机制和原理和现实生活中挺贴切的 我喜欢主人公之间的故事线 内容很饱满

期待碰见鬼呢,就是冲这个来的,这游戏属于越玩越有意思,最开始真的容易被劝退,节奏还是太慢,上来就选的困难模式,属实高估自己了
新人刚入坑,还在前期摸索阶段。 画面风格很舒服,小木屋、树木、整体氛围都挺对味,看着自己的小世界一点点发展起来很有感觉。 新手引导不赶人,一步步教,很友好。 后面咋样还不知道,但目前好评吧。
Не спешите проходить пролог! Постарайтесь улучшить исследования до которых можете дотянуться, чтоб потом было проще
Пару раз переигрывал пролог, потому что в начале торопился построить город. Прикольно, что на протяжении всей игры ты управляешь одним городом и развиваешь его до уровня промышленной столицы. И при этом вокруг тебя происходит история.
the game is engaging. Hopefully at late stages, there will be calm down, from non stop attacks, when tech advances. It is still to buggy (alpha quality) and will continue after some stability fixes.
Я ставил все свои лесопилки и дома жителей в Тумане. Они оказались захвачены туманом. Не повторяйте моих ошибок. Нравится.
创意很独特,在树干上建城、向上发展、架设滑索和升降梯,这种垂直空间规划带来的新鲜感确实是地面城建给不了的
