Every market we collect.
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.

一款掌握生死的上班模拟器,最喜欢的就是根据选择而变化的世界水晶球......鸟嘴医生与阿努比斯特别美,推荐游玩!!
不适合长时间、多次游玩,一开始试玩被勾起兴趣购买了,一周目体验也还行,但之后再玩大部分都是重复的,越玩越无聊,玩到后面感觉真的像在上班,好累玩不动了,不想打开游戏了
It's a point and click game, I don't get why there's so many reviews calling it boring? What'd you expect?? However I still wouldn't recommend it because, despite the interesting premise, it's just too on the rails for my taste. And if you go off the rails all you can do is apologize to your boss and say "it wasn't intentional, I'll do better next time" even if it fully was intentional. I get if the dev just wants to tell a story and give you no agency but that's not what I was looking for in this. The intro was really cool though
Es un juego muy interesante, ya que las decisiones que tomas influyen indirectamente en el mundo del juego. Parece que siempre hay perfiles nuevos y diferentes decisiones que tomar. Además, los atuendos son divertidos. Lo malo son las conversaciones con los colegas en el bar, ya que no aportan casi nada a la trama y tampoco puedes ver ni interactuar con sus respectivos departamentos. Además, la gata de Destino es molesta.
玩弄玩家的游戏只有设计得足够精妙,且赋予了让玩家报复回去的可能后。才不会让玩家感到被冒犯和恼火。
Death and Taxes - a short narrative game with a narrative that's bellow mediocre. I was attracted to this game by the idea of working as a grim reaper. An office job in this case, which in my mind would mean that I would have to sift through different profiles of different people and maybe try to make a small difference in the world by bending the rules of the job when possible. The game does do that but everything is really shallow. Maybe the experience would be more pleasant if the overarching story and the surrounding characters were more interesting, but personally I couldn't find myself caring about this world, and the characters I found to be unlikeable. Probably the worst thing about the narrative is the amount of times I was had to choose a dialog line and found myself thinking "Damn, these are all terrible and I would never say any of these...". I can accept being stuck in a world of unlikeable characters, but if I'm obligated to become one of them then that breaks my immersion and interest quite quickly. The game would have been better with a "keep silent" choice and the characters reacting around that. The shallow game mechanics combined with the bad narrative experience makes me think really quickly that I could be spending my limited hours playing something else. I gave this game two chances but both times after about an hour I quit. I have paid 1.55 Euro for this game and honestly I'm unsure if it was worth it. I fail to see the value of this game besides a few cool ideas and a neat art style. The full price of 12 euro is ludicrous.
感觉很有意思,玩了两周目把最坏结局和最好结局打出来了,只要不是冲着全成就去的可以在折扣时体验一下
