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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Wow! I only stumbled across this game because I watch video essays while I work sometimes. I was watching Ritley's "It Takes A War Is Horrible. It Takes A War Is Incredible." video and the beginning of the video intrigued me and he gave the disclaimer that if I was intrigued I should click off and go buy the game and I'm so glad I did. This would've been a game I completely missed had it not been for my video essay habits and I am so glad I didn't write it off. This was such a unique experience, one that gave me chills over and over again.
Nice Game. Just a nice little Story and a good message. Good Game for $5

It Takes a War (to not laugh when the game pulls up your friends list.) 4k seems to be bugged please fix!
Really really good Few things though: [spoiler]If you run AV it might spoil the end of the game. [/spoiler]
It's a short and simple game, but very unique in its narrative and surprises. If you like The Corridor, you'll like this. I won't say too much other than that.

Silly fun game turns into beautiful fun message
evil los approve
I was amazed at how well-run this story is. Personally, this game transports me to my teenage self in that search for connection, clashing with the frustration of not being able to read signs properly and spend time with people who are out of touch with me. He certainly hit the right spots.
Very Interesting game for sure [spoiler]This game has one of the best jumpscares in a game I've played[/spoiler]
