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 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

pretty solid game. It does a lot of really neat things and some puzzles were VERY satisfying. Unfortunately there were quite a few that felt way too convoluted and I had to unfortunately use a walkthrough several times. Even with the walkthrough, I still didn't understand the solution and just had to be given the answer at times. I wish there was a hint system in the game that could help guide me instead of being spoiled by walkthroughs. I thought it was still a solid package and definitely a fun little meta arg-ish kind of game. Worth a try!
Nails the horror elements, compelling story, engaging and sometimes relaxing gameplay. This game is goated. If you like puzzle games then get it for sure.

I got to draw gamer girl bathwater in game. The puzzles had me feeling some kind of way. Delete system32/10
I'm not one to leave reviews, but I really wanted to support this game. I had such a great time solving the puzzles and experiencing the story. I was genuinely gripped by the story and mystery, never quite knowing what the game would throw at me next. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys puzzle games and wants to be drenched in the atmosphere this world provides. Thank you for this experience!
I played the demo when it originally came out during PAX. I loved the demo. I joined the Discord server and even helped fix a spelling error. I have never done this for another game before, but from the beginning, I felt welcomed in this community. I had this game wishlisted for some time and bought it the day it came out. The wait was worth it. I love the Win 98 nostalgia feeling and it was like I was snooping around someone's computer. Oh, get up and leave the computer while the game is still running, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Also, I miss Clippy. Bring that back Microsoft!
I really loved the vibe and the mystery was interesting! Having said that the first act has the strongest pacing and some puzzles were a touch too obscure with few hints for my taste. BUT I still loved this game! The aesthetic, the music, the way you use the UI to solve puzzles. Great stuff! I you like the demo then you will enjoy the full game as well!
Very satisfying puzzles design, and interface...this is exactly the kind of game for me. I did get stuck on a couple of things but it's mostly because I didn't look around enough or forgot something existed. So if you get stuck just look at everything again!
好玩好玩 虽然有一些bug,就是结尾这个happyending有点强行升华了
谜题设计很巧妙,部分解谜需要和作者对上脑电波,以及需要对电脑的使用有一定基础的了解(?
I enjoyed this game. The puzzles got more difficult as you progressed, forcing you to back track on things that you had done previously. Even in some of them I had to physically write down solutions. I also like the 90's computer set up, had taken me back to better times when internet really was rare. (I hardly had it in my house when I was a kid) Seeing the 90's wallpapers such as the Maze and Pipes...Gods the nostalgia, on top of one of my biggest wants in the Maze wallpaper, to be able to explore it. THANK YOU. I recommend this game wholeheartedly.
