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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

Fantastic game! Each "section" has fresh and unexpected mechanics with interesting (but not frustrating) puzzles. Hope this team makes another FakeOS game in the future!
The creepy atmosphere was bad enough, but then the assistant made a cheap jumpscare joke... I was on the fence about reviewing, since so much of this is personal taste, but that really felt like a slight.

An intensely atmospheric and puzzling adventure. Even 7 hours after having finished the game, I am still thinking about the ending of the game. With light horror elements scattered throughout, it turns out the scariest thing is what is inside us. Had me choked up in a few places, especially the ending. Would absolutely get dissociative amnesia in order to experience this again for the first time. Absolutely thrilling.
A great game, but I'm too stupid to figure out a lot of these puzzles. Sorry for the refund.
An absolute tearjerker, hit me harder than i thought cause it touched subjects i feel ive been close to before in my life. Not only is this game from an under-rated genre (Web Crawlers) its an absolute must play for anyone over 18. The puzzles can be pretty hard at times but its in a good way, very creative. i wont spoil anything about the game, but i can adamantly say i gave a fkn waterfall from my face hole. Conclusion 10/10, a must play! ♥♥♥♥ you Pizaro, i hope you get smashed with hammers!
Increasingly surprising puzzles that are satisfying to solve with good eerie vibes
you can play flow free in this game 10/10
The game's solid 8/10. Definitely worth the price and time. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE, PUT UP AN EPILEPSY WARNING.
A bit of a work-out in terms of brain usage but very, VERY well made! I've been streaming it with a few friends and it's an absolute TREAT with buddies! Collaborating with them on puzzles and mutually experiencing the game has been one of the most fun things yet :] I highly recommend, and, though certainly I've only beaten the first third of the game, Desktop Explorer is showing some very, VERY interesting gameplay mechanics! Go play it!
Haven't even finished the game at the time of writing this and i already consider this to be one of the best puzzle games i have ever played! Would highly recommend! edit: After finishing the game i can thoroughly say i would recommend this game to everyone! Having played the demo in the past (which consists of the initial section of puzzles) i was honestly surprised with how the game created even more puzzles without suffering from repetition. The story is well thought out and emotional, and the puzzles (for me) were a perfect balance between difficult enough to make me pause and not too hard i couldn't progress.
