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.

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.

How far will you go to reunite with your lost daughter?
ItLivesInTheWoods is a first-person psychological horror game set in Canada in modern times.
Plot
You will experience a linear story that has multiple endings, with mystery and twists.
Everything was well before your daughter, Sarah, mysteriously disappeared in the forest during a hiking trip a month ago. You don't know what happened to your daughter or if she is still alive. You only know you want her back safely in your arms again.
The deeper you go into the forest, the more you will question what is real and what is not.
Environment
The game is developed with a sense of hyper-realism to create a visually stunning and memorable experience powered by Unreal Engine 5.
You will explore a rich procedurally generated forest where the more you explore, the more you will unearth the reality of your daughter. However, in doing so will also introduce you to certain evil, of which you must overcome to reunite with your daughter. Some things you encounter will seem surreal, and may actually be so.
Can you trust your eyes?
Gameplay
You will uncover minor puzzles and cues of which you must complete to understand your surroundings and progress in the game. Objects in the game are inspectable and/or interactable, where some will enrich the story with new information or backstory, and some will simulate the environment for realism.
Perhaps you will be face-to-face with an evil which will test your survival skills until either you are defeated or it.

Also, Grafik war absolute Spitzenklasse. Der Wald sah unglaublich echt aus. Allerdings hat, bei mir zumindest, die technische Perfomance gelitten. Die Geschichte war eigentlich auch größtenteils interessant. Allerdings hätte ich mir ein etwas anderes Ende bzw. eine andere Auflösung gewünscht. Für diesen Preis ist es aber eine tolle Erfahrung und ich würde das Spiel empfehlen. Schön wäre es allerdings, wenn der Entwickler das Spiel noch etwas mehr optimiert.
Das Game ist so unfassbar geil!!!!! Es waren die besten 3 Euro meines Lebens!"!! NUR LIEBE <3

This game keeps you glued to the screen. This is what matters most and as a first outing from a solo developer is really promising !
ItLivesInTheWoods is the quintessential horror experience. The game respects my intelligence and it's a small yet meaningful story. There is so much heart put into the gameplay and at just under 2 hours, it's an easy in and easy out adventure. I found myself intrigued and mortified at every turn and couldn't wait to see where the game took me. The game is definitely SHOW not TELL. crafted masterfully. IF YOU LOVE HORROR AND MYSTERY- WOULD RECOMMEND.
Que dire si ce n'est que ce jeu est bien meilleur que les notes qui lui sont attribuees. Ce n'est peut être pas le jeu de l'année dans la catégorie horreur mais il remplit très bien son rôle. Bonne histoire et bon déroulement de l'histoire. Le seul truc qu'on puisse lui reprocher ce sont les fins qui ne sont pas a la hauteur. C est dommage !!! Note de la MN 8/10
This Game is Insane good.
Wow actually a very good game. I really can't agree with most of the negative reviews left on here but some are indeed very harsh or outright just stupid... Game runs fairly smooth for me. A very realistic forest probably the most realistic i've seen from an indie game... A very nice cinematic game with a lot of potential in my opinion coming from the creator who i think made this game solo. The only thing i'd change is the voice acting but i guess it's expensive to hire pro voice actors. Looking forward to more games from this creator!
이 게임은 미완성 게임입니다. 점프스케어는 조악하기 짝이 없고, 스토리도 무언가 있어 보일 것 같지만, 아무것도 없습니다. 그냥 재미가 없습니다. 이유도 없습니다. 근데 가격은 정말 터무니 없네요.
unplayable
не оптимизированное говно, по умолчанию стояло все на epic, с такими настройками выдает 15-20 фпс на моем железе, после установки на минимум еле еле бьет в 100 фпс, но все стало картонным. не стоит внимания до фикса. возможно, играть с закрытыми глазами поможет, не пробывал
