Lives up to the bio! In all seriousness it’s a great RPG, extremely brutal but I’d insist on seeing it through and not save scumming. I would normally reload on other rpgs - my run went extremely south and out of spite for the game and world in it I fought through it because of the attachment I grew to the characters and Brads mission (main character), not many games would draw me to go through this painful journey. It’s a dark game but with a lot of heart and love put into it, the humour lands well and art stops this from being insanely depressing. Must play for any indie RPG fan

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.

Preface: I didn't play definitive edition and I've played it much more than my hours show. This is probably one of my favorite RPGMaker games, at least top 3. The story is a tad cliché (I think they're called sad dad games? I don't know I go outside) but it worked very well on me and I would recommend it on that basis alone as I think it does it best out of any game in said genre (please go in blind if you're considering playing it I beg you). Also actually made turn based combat engaging so I've got to give it props for that, though if you loathe it already you probably still won't love it here.
The first time I finally beat this game it was such an overwhelming experience (even despite being spoiled on a lot of the story) I didn't think I would ever revisit it, or if I did it would be a long time later. I've since replayed and beaten the game upwards of six times in the span of a few months. Somehow this game is crushingly depressing and also the funniest game I've ever played, all wrapped up in a story I deeply connect with even on repeat playthroughs. Painful also has what I genuinely think is my favorite video game soundtrack of all time at this point. Also, the Definitive Edition not only has some nice QoL updates, but spoilers: [spoiler]has the darkest, most disturbing, most devastating, and most outright haunting boss fight in video game history. If you're to play Definitive Edition, fight the secret boss. It'll be an experience that'll stick with you for life.[/spoiler] The more I sit with this game the more I love it, easily one of my all time favorite games I've ever played. It's not for everyone though, Painful has no problem with punishing you. It will pull every trick in the book to make your first playthrough as miserable as possible, and if you can put up with it, you'll understand what makes that so special.
