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): 2.14/day in the week to Aug 31 → 2.14/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.2/day in the week to Jul 20 → 4.17/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 2,402 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.

you need to play this game i'm so serious. don't look up anything about it. you have never played anything like it, you very well may never play anything like it again. you need to see what this is.
Lovely little game.
Please avoid all reviews, play it completely blind, you will not experience another game like this. Literally just, wow, ran onto a random youtube video about this game, and stopped the video 5mins in to pickup this game. Cannot express how amazing-ly put this game is. Literally insane how good and well thought it it is, i was getting bored until it just started happening, a lot. Now the spoiler section [spoiler] Bold...The game is bold, there is a bit of a gripe of how it takes your desktop images, your location data, webcam data, steam profile data, friends, "fake crashing" to run in background, all that, but honestly, i dont know how else it would've done it without ruining the magic. This game speaks to the early discord/skype people about toxic friendships and forcing a belonging; many just wont recieve the message and may not enjoy the game, but it was a great experience nethertheless, the ending bit was amazingly done side note? did this game really add speech to text for your microphone to just NEVER use it in game ever again? seriously? [/spoiler]

CSGO but psychological horror
Genuinely fantastic. I really liked the topic this game focused on. It's neat for something like this to focus on something other than depression and suicide. This game had some really unnerving scares and kept me on edge the whole time. Graphics are mid tho and no VC 2/10
Short and beautiful. Don't read about it, just buy and play.
such a beautiful amazing game i cant even lie
good game
Good stuff. [spoiler] Spooky in its execution (steam profile scraping and desktop capturing are used to good effect but not a fan of that) and makes a good point but it might go over your head if you're a loner or just generally get along with everyone. Was the remark about not using any AI in the store page a joke about games that use it and lie about it? I thought there was a picture in the first bedroom that was all smudged like it was AI-made. [/spoiler] A good lesson for those who indulge in road rage.
The game was very thoughtful and it struck me to my core.... with its epic totally normal gameplay... - Last online 73 years ago
