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 puzzle game.
I haven't played a new game completely blind in a long time and I cannot recommend it more for this one. So much love, passion and charm is jam-packed in this game in every pixel. Very excited to see what Recurring Dream makes in the future!!! <3
First act was amazing mystery. Second was also good, even with its [spoiler] Walking mode [/spoiler] that I felt was more of personal developers choice of setting than "must have in desktop experience" but was worked in nice so I don't complain. Third act was kinda (subjectively) short and I was hoping for more [spoiler] Console and Commands actions or puzzles [/spoiler] but that would feel out-of-place so gotta find that somewhere else :) Overall nice 8/10 for either one night or week depending on brainpower.

Excellent puzzle game. The computer simulation is great, the progression also, and the puzzle very inventive. Some moments are really tough (for me) but you get some hints if you want. If you like Hypnospace outlaw and original puzzles, go for it.
great game, can't recommend enough
so good
really good game
There are some minor flaws but overall this is an amazing experience. It's just way too creative for me to not recommend. I did have to look up some hints online for some of the puzzles so expect to do that. Don't look up anything about this game before playing it, you can really only play it once. There are no jumpscares.
amazing vibe, good puzzles and had alot of fun^^ would recommend just from the vibes alone c:
Genuinely awesome game. This game is truly a unique experience so much so that I forget I'm playing a game and I genuinely feel like I'm, well exploring someone's desktop. The puzzles are so clever to the point where I actually got stumped a few times and became so surprised by mechanics to solve it. It has some very sad moments that makes you really feel for these peoples experiences. 100% if you are debating on buying this game, just do it.
