Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 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.

Great game, one of the best FakeOS games. Puzzles are challenging but never too difficult or frustrating and are really satisfying to finish. Nice ambient music and timeless art style, with a story that's a bit creepy but never resorts to cheap jumpscares. The story is told in 3 clean acts and doesn't overstay its welcome taking roughly 10 hours to fully complete. I'll always support an appropriately priced well-made singleplayer game and will be following to see what this dev does next. This is a real achievement as this dev's first game. Outersloth has published some really nice games on Steam. Minor gripe - let me click to move inside of the NextRooms section instead of using WASD and arrow keys.
Absolutely fun and provides a bit of a challenge at times. The style is very windows 98-era, and the story keeps you wanting for more. There are some horror elements but be not afraid, no cheap jump scares here, just a few "Oh, okay that was sudden" type of situations, and fake blood and "sp00ky" vibes. If you like games that have you think outside the box and try different methods to "game" the system while also pulling you in with an interesting story - check this one out. I do not regret it. I won't spoil anything further because it ABSOLUTELY is a "play on your own" experience. Happy exploring :)

Incredibly fun and challenging puzzle game. So much charm and a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed!
10/10 game for me. It plays like an escape room where every puzzle is based on a windows operating system mechanic, and much more on top of that. There were plenty of puzzles that required note-taking, thinking outside the box, and making sure every clue was utilized in some way. I would love to have more games like this!
Not done with the game yet but just wanted to leave a positive review as this game is soooo good! I've been looking for a rewarding puzzle game to sink my teeth into and this one certainly is it! highly recommend it

Such a fantastic game. If you have any interest in mystery/detective games, please give it a chance.
I really like the game for the different ways it makes you think. Though some of the riddles went over my head, I still wanted to come back and solve them. 10/10
