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 · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

good game about computers and regrets
A short game, but well worth the expense. A great experience which not only enraptured me with its puzzles, but also its story. Several points I thought I had it all figured out, only to be blindsided by what I shouldve seen to begin with, but assumed instead.

This game is probably one of the best desktop simulators I've seen in a while. Only about halfway through but the story is very interesting and has several layers of complexity behind it. The puzzles don't leave you grasping at straws to solve which is probably the best part. Each puzzle is built of the last one and if you read the clues and know a little about how to navigate an old windows computer it shouldn't take you by surprise. That being said, this game has some of the more creative puzzles I've come across in a long time. Very unique styles and what's best is that the music changes as your going along and just adds to the experience. This game is also vey good at preventing you from messing up the game and soft locking yourself into a corner. It's also very good at guiding you to the next step in the game and not having you lose hours of time on a puzzle you shouldn't be solving yet. If you don't know what to do it's because you're not suppose to be there yet and I really appreciate that concept of game design. The people who made this have a great understanding of how old school computers feel and its a great experience. I don't know what else to say without rambling so I'll just end it with the fact that this game is a really great game and I'm having a lot of fun playing it.
60r买不了吃亏买不了上当,思考量巨大,好玩
Very very fun game, was gifted it by a friend and beat it in two sessions cause I was so addicted to the puzzle solving. It feels really fulfilling and the gameplay is a fun mix of kinda spooky and puzzles. Most the puzzles are pretty easy when you think outside the box and have fun solutions, the only thing I never really got was the [spoiler] Encryption key puzzle [/spoiler]. Maybe Im just not that smart and didnt understand it but I had clue what you were supposed to do there, thank god for guides. anyways really really good game I had so much fun, I hope the studio keeps making bangers like these
Wow. Just wow. I got gifted this game by a friend of mine and went into it without any expectation of what was in store. It was such an experience I can't even really put it into words here, but I'll try. This game takes you on a journey from start to finish, at times an uncomfortable, visceral, anxiety-laden journey, and at other times, a hopeful, bittersweet, charming one. The puzzles will have you bashing your head against the wall until you are finally hit with the "AHA!" moment and you feel like a genius. The soundtrack lets you be absorbed into this world and stand in the shoes of people who you have never met but yet feel like you've known a lifetime. The artwork and differing styles of each segment keeps the feeling fresh and inspired with every new segment you explore. To describe this as a game would be doing it a disservice, it is an experience, one I will not soon forget. 10/10
Beautiful game. An unsuspecting gem. It offers an opportunity for introspection, has a FANTASTIC soundtrack, and had me in tears by the credits. Highly recommend.
perfect
A REAL BRAINTEASER GAME!! All the puzzles are fun and get more challenging progressively. The storyline is also captivating. I have only looked for walkthrough online once because I got scared by one of the levels and just wanna get past it quickly XD I bet I've missed a bunch of easter eggs and I have not finished the game yet at this point. So far I would give a 10/10.
