Every market we collect.
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): 11.43/day in the week to Aug 29 → 21.57/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.

What an incredibly fun game. I've been supporting this game since early development, including an ARG they had in their discord. Throughout all of that, it built my expectations for this game fairly high, and I'm glad to say that they really met them. I enjoyed all acts of the game, and while some of the puzzles were a little confusing, they were still solvable. Some of the puzzles were very enjoyable to solve, and the music and visuals to follow them were incredible. The story was easy to follow and interesting, with an ending I truly enjoyed even though I know a few other people don't enjoy it. I highly recommend you play it, or at least try out the demo. Support the amazing dev team as well.
I enjoyed the first act, but they changed the whole game in the second act with the slog that is the NextRooms. I found myself stuck in certain places on the first floor with a bunch of details that do not help me. If there's details I'm missing, I'm just gonna chalk that up to not being able to make the Nextrooms screen larger. Meanwhile, PIzarro is useless by saying things like 'did you know you can erase things?' I had to wait so long to get the right fish colors to spawn on that screensaver, and it was just extremely unsatisfying to the point where I'm just taking a break from this. I cannot recommend a game that goes from a bunch of fun little ah hah moments with the puzzles in the beginning to an experience of waiting for the last two damn fish to show up. I dunno if I'm just unlucky, but that is some straight BS.

This game is top-tier puzzles. The Devs really understand human behaviors. I had a blast. Level designs in this game are among the best out their for its kind. Been following on Discord for a few months before the game got released, surpass any expectation I have for this kind of game. Good job devs and everyone involved!!!
Such a good game with lots of depth, and uses the fear of the unknown very well. I would 100% recommend to someone who loves puzzle games.
Good game, similar to hypnospace outlaw, I liked the story and the puzzles felt difficult but never unfair
This was a great game! There were only a few things that i felt like i needed a few extra hints on, but ultimately a lot of the puzzles were the perfect mix of challenging and intuitive so that it didn't feel like i was breezing through the game. Would recommend this for anyone looking to pick up a puzzle game that doesn't mind it getting a little psychological horror-y on you.
豪玩^ ^解迷很有趣,创意也很好玩,但是第三章的解谜对电脑低手不太友好,也可能是我比较笨,有代码相关之类的俺真的搞不懂啊T T 都是看攻略才看明白是什么逻辑,[spoiler]第二章那个3D小游戏玩得特别想吐,导致丧失了很多思考能力好痛苦,全程都在好晕好想吐快点结束吧(我不是容易晕3D的人,从小也玩过很生硬的3d不存在不适应古早3d游戏的情况)[spoiler] [spoiler]以及femur说得对!非常能共鸣,遇到这种低龄非常爱自嬷自嗲的网友我真的也想那么怼回去XD[spoiler] 只有一点点点吓人的插画,其他时候还挺正常的,胆小的人也可以玩
Desktop Explorer is a quite fun concept, and I think that the execution is quite strong on the puzzle front. It is difficult to judge a game based upon the puzzles, because their difficulty is dependent on the person doing them! (For my money, only two or three puzzles here were quite hard. Other than that, its coasting.) Where this game shines for me is the vibes. And the vibes are truly *[u]Chefs kiss[/u]* If this had a mode where I could just put one of the desktops on and chill out with the music, chunky ui, notetaking app, that would be very rad. Moving past the presentation, the structure of the game is pretty straightforward. Each pc user profile is a different chapter, and they tell a story of a family all together. Milage will vary, but I found one quite good, and one quite whatever. I think that the story the game is telling goes to some interesting places, but [spoiler] the story is fundamentally a difficult thing to tell, and the game doesn't land it.[/spoiler] [spoiler] The thrust of the story is a family that has fallen apart i guess? But the actual text of the game doesn't really make this clear, and in fact the characters relationships are a bit murky. [/spoiler] Anyhow, the game runs well and only had one issue with the actual performance of the game. In the arcade, I had a wonky camera trigger. Still, it was absolutely playable and was no hinderance whatsoever. In conclusion, great vibes, fun puzzles, interesting story that doesnt nail its landing. Very much a good game to hammer through over the weekend.
Muy buen juego, muy buena historia. Admirable su trabajo, muchas gracias!
A great puzzle game with an impeccable aesthetic and well written story. The investigation element is more of a narrative framing device rather than an actual game-play mechanic, so if you're looking for an experience like Roottrees or Hypnospace Outlaw, this is not it. The game also desperately needs some accessibility options, with few puzzles in the second act being near impossible to solve for colourblind individuals or those who struggle with fine motor control. Still, I'd highly recommend Desktop Explorer to anyone who enjoys well-crafted puzzles and a little bit of mystery.
