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): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 11 → 0.14/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.
About
Directory Dungeon is a tiny dungeon crawler played right in the windows file explorer.
Explore a monster and loot filled dungeon by dragging and dropping your player folder into new rooms, equip powerful items by dropping them into your equipment folder, and defeat terrible monsters in auto-resolved combat.
Play the game in the windows file explorer and console window! Think of the file explorer as the playing pieces of the game and the console window as the dungeon master keeping track of everything.
Explore the dungeon by dragging and dropping your player into a new room, or just cutting and pasting them there.
Fight and defeat terrible monsters! And then loot their folders!
Arm and armour yourself with the loot you find throughout the dungeon, by dropping it into your equipment folder.
Enjoy a tasty cabbage, or other dungeon treats, to refresh yourself between fights!
Figure out the secret to banishing evil from the dungeon forever!
Nope! Directory Dungeon only ever touches files which it has created, never looks at files outside of its install directory, and doesn't use any weird file system hacks. Check out the FAQ in the Steam Discussions for more info!

Neat little dungeon crawler with a cool gimmick.
A cool little game. Yeah, you can get through it pretty quickly, but I’d say it’s still worth it for the price. It also makes great use of the options you get when you use the Explorer as a "game engine" as far as I can tell.
[h1]Explorerを使ってExploreするゲーム[/h1] 2周クリアと全実績解除までプレイ済みでのレビューになります。 日本語訳はありません。 ただ、そこまで難しくありませんし、テキスト形式で表示されるため、コピペでの翻訳も容易だと思います。 [h2]----ゲームについて----[/h2] この作品はWindowsのエクスプローラーを使って遊ぶユニークな短編ゲームです。 ゲーム画面とエクスプローラーの二つを使用していく形式です。 ゲーム画面側はコマンドプロンプトの様なインターフェースをしていて、テキストでゲームの進行状況を表します。 エクスプローラー側ではディレクトリ内のファイルやフォルダを移動させたり削除することでプレイヤーを移動させたり、装備やアイテムを使わせることが出来ます。 例えば、プレイヤーというフォルダを開くと装備フォルダが存在していて、ここに武器や防具を移動することでゲーム側で装備して強くなります。 さらに、使用アイテムの場合はそのアイテムファイルを削除することで使用したことになり、効果が発揮されます。 ちなみに、アイテム説明等がないため、使ってみるまで効果はわからないです。 ゲームの目的としては、迷宮を探索し、迷宮に巣くう悪を倒すのが目的です。 迷宮には、謎解きもありますし、敵からのアイテムドロップや宝箱の中身もある程度ランダムドロップ(固定の敵もいます)です。 ボリュームと内容としては、難易度も簡単と言えますし、長くても1時間位でクリアできると思います。 全実績取得も一部が運によりますが時間はそこまでかからないとは思います。 [h2]----良かった点----[/h2] ユニークなプレイ体験とこのゲームらしい遊び心がよかったです。 ファイルエクスプローラーを使ったゲームというのは初めて体験したため、新鮮な気持ちで楽しくプレイできました。 もちろん、特殊ゲームなために慣れるまで色々と不便だと感じる部分もある作品でもありますが、それ以上に面白かったです。 また、エクスプローラーを使うという事で、ファイル操作によって色々と馬鹿な事が出来たり、最初は不便だと思っていたプレイヤーの移動も方法に気付ければ楽になったりと、面白く良い体験が出来たゲームでした。 [h2]----気になった点----[/h2] 難易度とボリュームとセーブができない点でしょうか。 難易度としては簡単だと思います。 ただ、ドロップ運が悪すぎるとどうしようもなく死んでしまうと思います(一敗)。 ボリュームも、スムーズにやれれば、初見でも1時間を切るくらいの内容だと思います。 この作品はセーブがありません。 間違えてゲーム画面側を閉じてしまうと、最初からになってしまうのは注意が必要かもしれません。 気になった点として一応あげましたが、リトライも容易ですし、値段とプレイ体験を考えると問題ない点だと思いましたが、一応気になった事として記しました。 [h2]----まとめ----[/h2] ゲーム内容としては、シンプルでさらっと終わってしまうものではありましたが、新鮮で面白い作品でした。 ですので、サクッと軽いゲームがやりたい方や、ユニークなプレイ体験がしたい方、テキストベースのゲームがしたい方におすすめできるゲームだと思いましたので、おすすめできる作品と評価しました。 是非プレイしてみてください!

Very fun concept. Pretty short, it took me about 1.5h I got stuck at several places and but it would have probably taken less then one hour if i wasn't slightly distracted in conversation while playing.
It's a neat little novel experience, extremely short to it's strength, worth a playthrough. EDIT - Update made this part redundant. Weird achievements though, Who wants to play enough to eat 50 self-harming cabbages when you won't see more than a few in a run? Doesn't sound particularly fun for anybody.
For real though! The aspect of combining a command prompt and medieval aesthetics is just crisp. For some reason, I felt that I was playing The Tower of Druaga without me realizing.
A small dungeon crawler played via file directory. Not a fake one that exists for the games purposes, but in a set of folders placed in your own hard drive. An incredibly creative concept, if feeling more like a proof of concept than the idea taken to its fullest potential. There's definitely an optimization to be made with moving things about, and there feels like a lot of ground left untread in this short experience (counting playing the demo, I probably spent about an hour with this game), but what is here is fun silly, and has some room for... creative solutions.
Really cool idea that I would like to see expanded. Maybe the terminal could play a larger role.
You get exactly what the store page says you'll get, a small dungeon crawler you play in your file explorer. I really like small unique projects like this. The runs are pretty short (about 30 minutes for a successful run) and IMO not that difficult, which is nice considering the file explorer conceit means that the controls are naturally pretty different from a regular game. [spoiler]For some reason it's hilarious to me that you always find a glass of water which literally does nothing if you drink it lol[/spoiler]
Весьма интересный саленький данжен кроулер, с гиммиком того, что всё управление происходит через взаимодействие с проводником на вашем пк. Игра становится ЕЩЁ интереснее, когда понимаешь что возможности проводника можно использовать и так, как ты изначально не ожидаешь, но этого я спойлерить не буду...
