The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
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.
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.

// PATIENT CRITICAL
Most of the time, patients land on your table when it is already too late. All you can do is to determine, how they died.
There are rare case, where you can intervene. Where you get the chance to prevent one more meaningful meaningless death.
In those cases, you have to pull out all the stops to keep your patients breathing.

Deploy the defibrillator to hopefully restore cardiac activity
Use mission specific tools like the surgical laser where authorised
// PATIENT STABILISED

Я готов поставить этой игре максимум балов лишь за то, что в ней играешь за хирургического робота. Однако игра имеет довольно много существенных проблем. Мне так и не удалось завершить обучающую миссию успешно, так как после того как ставишь диагноз пациенту (неважно, хороший или плохой), не происходит завершение миссии. Приходиться принудительно завершать миссию с пометкой "провал". Игра имеет не очевидные механики по поиску и взаимосвязи симптомов. Даже перебор не всегда помогает найти верное решение. (а в некоторых случаях, даже зная, что симптомы должны комбинироваться, но этого не происходит). Начиная со второй миссии (замерзшая девушка) происходит резкое падение производительности и помогает лишь перезапуск миссии. Некоторые строчки текста интерфейса не переведены, от того не всегда понятно, что имеется ввиду и к чему принадлежит данный текст. Не смотря на все перечисленное, я все же рекомендую эту игру, в надежде, что ошибки все же будут исправлены и игру доведут до ума. (хоть я и жду ее еще с 2023 года)
Grundsätzlich will ich keine Spiele schlechtreden. Die Idee ein Chirurgie Roboter auf einem Raumschiff zu spielen um Patienten zu untersuchen, zu operieren und zu behandeln klingt richtig gut. Das Spiel wirkt aber eher wie "Wir nehmen die Idee, spülen sie im Klo runter und machen ein Gerichtsmediziner Simulator im Sci-Fi Setting". Wirklich, man untersucht fast nur Leichen um herauszufinden wie diese gestorben sind und muss dafür Fragen beantworten, dessen offensichtliche antworten als unverständlich abgestempelt werden. Beispiel: Eine Frau ist an Erfrierungen gestorben, weil sie eine Nacht in der Gefrierkammer verbrachte. Frage: Warum war die Flucht nicht möglich? Meine Antwort: Defekte Gefrierkammertür. Falsche Antwort. Oder Wann ist sie gestorben? Meine Antwort: Kameraaufzeichnung (weil dort die Uhrzeit schön angegeben wird) Falsche Antwort Oder Favorit: Was ist die Todesursache? Meine Antwort: Erfrierungen Falsche Antwort Das Tutorial kann man sich im Grunde sparen, man klickt wild mit der Maus auf den Körpern der Leichen rum und hofft das man zufällig ein neuen Hinweis trifft, was man dann mit anderen Hinweisen kombinieren kann/muss um die richtige Antwort zu bekommen. Im Ganzen Spiel gab es nur 3 Lebende zum Untersuchen.... das wars. Die angekündigten Operationen blieben aus. Der OP-Laser der bei der Tutorial Ananas zum Einsatz kam, darf beim letzten Lebenden benutzt werden, sonst kommt dieser nie zum Einsatz. Herz- und Vitalwertemonitor wird bei Leichen ebenfalls nicht benötigt, hauptsache wir haben gelernt wie wichtig dieser bei Operationen ist. Bei dem Sci-Fi Setting erwartet man so was Alienmäßiges, wie Embryo entfernen oder Virus mit Mutation bekämpfen, man bekommt aber nur eine Astronautenleiche zum untersuchen. Alle anderen sind an relativ normalen Dingen gestorben, wie Erfrierung, Erdrosselung, Rauchvergiftung oder durch Selbstmord. Nichts Sci-fi mäßiges, da hätte man mehr machen können. Im Trailer werden Bilder, Personen und Dinge gezeigt die ich im Spiel nicht gesehen habe und allgemein wirkt das Spiel wie ein Early Access als ein vollwertiges Spiel. Tut mir Leid aber ich kann das Spiel nicht empfehlen.

Mom said it's my turn to break the hippocratic oath
This game puts you in the seat of a doctor operating a remote surgical robot in a immersive story where you diagnose and solve problems with your patients, except... you don't. 99% of this game is spent scanning various organs and identifying problems, followed by a nonsensical detective game of match the symptoms where something as simple as "heavy bruising and discoloration of the knee, common in leg fractures" and scanning the bones results as "complete fracture of femur above the knee" are apparently COMPLETELY unrelated. I feel like this game has a lot of potential, but it doesn't live up to that potential at the time of this review.
(Edit) Hello, the game is really fun, but it's clearly unfinished. The bugs… they're everywhere. I scan hands and the game scans faces; I scan thighs and the game scans fingers. I had to restart several games because of this annoying bug, and of course, quitting the game mid-way forces you to start all over again from the beginning of the chapter. This wouldn't have bothered me if the next bug hadn't ruined the experience… The links… as many have already mentioned, the links need work. A multi-link system is needed because several symptoms and causes could be linked together. The scan glitches on some patients, making the process frustrating because you can't unlock a necessary link to complete the current procedure (seriously, stop using the word "procedure," what we're doing is much more like a simple consultation). You can miss an important element, which prevents the links from appearing and connecting. Furthermore, some seemingly obvious links are impossible to connect (nicotine and lungs, it seems obvious but it doesn't work, or hypothermia and frostbite, that doesn't work either). Far too scripted… I played to the end… you could have made an effort and added subtitles for the final scene, which is almost 15 minutes of crucial dialogue for understanding the ending. And speaking of the ending, what's with this entity that talks like Bumblebee? The final scene is incomprehensible because of it. You've given your game a supernatural aspect that I don't understand. The idea is there, but it's poorly executed in my opinion. Finally, the number of patients is ridiculous. On a ship with 5,000 passengers, barely ten are treated. Furthermore, half of the SPIDER's tools are useless and inaccessible. The only time I used all the tools was in the short tutorial; the scalpel is impossible to use except for the final operation, which, of course, ends very badly... I feel like I'm only playing half of the base game's content. The plot is incomplete with this completely absurd entity. It's as if I paid to play a buggy demo. I regret the 12 hours spent fighting bugs; I should have asked for a refund. In short, at this stage, MALPRAXIS is just basic consultations without any surgery, scans, links, or conclusions. That's what this game boils down to... Our choices don't really have an impact because there's only one ending, and the only time we hear about the supernatural entity is on the Steam store page. For the price I paid, I expect major updates to the links and scans. I want to be able to use all of SPIDER's tools. I want at least a hundred patients with different symptoms and pathologies. I want a coherent supernatural entity. I want well-calibrated subtitles. I want to feel like I'm playing a real game, not a demo prototype.
Somehow I lost the tutorial level while looking through the settings menu and had to restart from the beginning. There is no way to skip dialog so thats when I decided I had enough. Edit: Tried getting through the tutorial level after dev comment. Got stuck trying to figure out what to do next after answering the first two links for substance abuse and "died" again for trying too many options.
Unfortunately, I can't recommend this game. I love the idea and the aesthetics, but the execution is very janky and unfulfilling, with gameplay so scripted it makes me wonder why this was a game and not an animated short film. I was also unable to complete the game because of a game-breaking bug during one of the missions: I completed a query, but the game wouldn't progress. When I went to the main menu and tried to reopen the mission, all of my progress in the game was gone, and I can't force myself to play the game again because it's just not fun. Hopefully it improves with further updates but I wish I had held off on buying it at this point.
Overall I enjoyed my time with this game and would love to see this concept done more often. I struggled quite a bit in the beginning cause I wasn't understanding how the game wanted me to think. Once I got a grasp of what it actually wanted I had a great time. I did end up having 3 crashes which obviously isn't great but upon reloading I was able to continue without much issue. I love the idea and think this game has a spark to it that I want more of.
update 3, finally finish the game and... ye fill like the game isn't fulling finish, i can tell the game is blan to have more stuff in it but look like it isn'T there, knowing the "Negative Atmosphere: Emergency Room Prototype" has lot of stuff with show you can do as spider bot, it look like they have been cut off or... idk. seeing also the game has score bord with give you review how well you doing give the sighn there is a challen mode but again idk the ideas, seeing how the game ending didn't fill like ending. i hope there more of this games because i was into ideas when "Negative Atmosphere: Emergency Room Prototype" but seeing how it becaume... idk
