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.

Reviews
I do not often review games before finishing them, but this one is something special. If you like puzzle games (like Blue Prince, Obra Dinn, Outer Wilds, etc) you will very likely like this one a lot too. It scratches that brain itch, that need to solve something.
The story is incredibly fascinating, and the way the puzzles explore the various characters is incredibly engaging. Admittedly, I found some of the puzzles difficult to decipher, but I'm pretty sure that's a skill issue on my part, and despite struggling a bit, I still had a lot of fun putting together the different pieces to learn more about the story. Bonus points for getting me to cry at the end there. If you like heartfelt stories, challenging puzzles, and solving mysteries, then this game is ideal.

Ass
A fantastic little puzzle game for anyone who likes messing around with computers. looks like its from the 90's, but feels right at home in a post-gen ai world.
jogão! história boa e gameplay mt perfeitinha, puzzles divertidos e nada muito obtuso, de 0 a 10 de dificuldade eu daria um 4 com pouquíssimos momentos 5.
I'm so glad I found out that this game doesn't contain any jump scared because otherwise, I'd have skipped it it was sooo worth it, I usually struggle w puzzle games like this but this time I got almost everything by myself and I'm so proud of myself heheh the story itself is really interesting, I couldn't wait to play and find out what's going to happen next
100% would recommend! one of my favorite games is hypnospace outlaw so im always on the prowl for other desktop OS type games, and when i played the demo of this one i instantly fell in love and couldn't wait till it came out! i waited to play it for a bit though as i wanted to experience it together with some friends since i felt solving the puzzles together would be fun, and several heads are better than one! honestly if you can, id recommend playing this with friends to anyone, we had a lot of fun taking turns voice acting and one person who was good at one puzzle couldn't solve the next but then another person could and so on~ but its still just as good playing by yourself, might just take you a bit longer, some patience and taking breaks in between. as for the game itself, even though i usually dislike puzzle games, this one just spoke to me! it can be a bit tricky but its nothing just a bit more digging doesn't solve, and the game makes you feel so smart after solving each puzzle, it was really rewarding. and just when you think you've got the hang of it after solving one profile, you go into the next one and what you've learned previously doesn't matter as much so you have to start from square 1 again! my friends and i went 'woahhh' so many times after going from one section to the next, it was magical. and another thing, the soundtrack is ALSO amazing, each and every aspect of this game felt thoroughly thought through (try saying that quickly 3 times). my friends and i couldn't stop humming interlude in max's section, that one is my favorite and i love listening to it outside of the game, although it does truly shine the most when you're reading one of max's logs. my /only/ gripe as someone who likes to get all the achievements, you can get locked out of a few and have to replay the whole game for them. letting go of my first save file was a bit sad but, oh well. just keep that in mind if you want to get all the achievs without having to replay the whole game. i gotta say i will forever hold fond memories of this game, definitely in my top 10 now. its one of those experiences you wish you could forget just so you could experience it all over again. maybe that line of thinking has me hoping for a sequel, i know it wouldn't make the most sense after the ending but ughh i would definitely support something along the same lines just with a different story and puzzles!!! anyways, please buy it and play it, you (probably) won't regret it <3
Highly recommended!
Great game, oozes charm and creepiness. Really enjoyed the mystery!
Very good game with interesting gameplay and a great story. It could definitely use a few quality-of-life improvements, but overall, I really enjoyed it. I’d love to see more games from this studio and will definitely be keeping an eye out for their future releases.
