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 2,515 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.

super fun! can be pretty difficult at times, but the story was engaging and very compelling!
This is a must play for puzzle game fans. Excellent variety of puzzles, very immersive, and a really incredible story. Pretty much perfectly executed. Play it!!
I really loved this. The puzzles were exactly the right difficulty imo, and the story was very lovely (and very sad!). Highly recommend.

Summary: A great think-outside-the-box detective game with some fun and inventive puzzles - the solutions kept getting more difficult to obtain, and the paths to reaching them kept getting more complex. At certain points, screen space will become an issue and you may feel a need to keep notes, but it is all rewarded effort. ! Word of caution if you played "Database Detective" first: Unlike its soul-cousin, "Database Detective", this game is far more serious and dark in tone. It is by no means bleak or depressing, but it is not built on light humor and jokes.
Phenomenal puzzle game
Very fun puzzle game centered around an operating system with an intriguing story.
This game was amazing. The looks, the puzzles and the Horror element. It definetly creeped me out a fair bit and the ending is also amazing
很好玩很特别,每个章节游玩方式不同所以能一直保持新鲜感到最后,不过第二章老是卡关而且很长有点难受了,桌面小精灵的提示也几乎没有吧,得看视频攻略。 说老实话我没看懂这个桌面探索者到底是个什么存在,跟赛博AI邪教似的。很多对话有种不可名状的看不懂,太哲学了,我层次太低,不是很喜欢被创伤意识流包围的感觉,对精神状态不好,好在结局是好的。
好玩!有小时候玩冒险小虎队的感觉了! ————————二编更新一下测评———————— 可以说是今年不错的独立游戏了,机关搭配的很棒,总体也很有逻辑性【除了这个国际象棋以外,我看不懂】。剧情不是那种很无脑很狗血的,一开始以为是舅舅不安好心,结果越玩到后面越伤感,每个人都对自己做过的事情愧疚不已。中期一度以为是智械危机蛊惑人类没想到是人类努力挑战爱,看到隐藏的那段max和电脑的对话,才发现max不是那种自怨自艾的小孩子,好可惜,要是你的老爹再多搜索一下电脑就好了。
Amazing puzzle game! Haven't finished it yet but the puzzles and the atmosphere feel just right so far. Very well made and well worth the purchase!
