Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
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): 8.71/day in the week to Aug 10 → 23.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

меня дедушка изнасиловал. а игра топ. ВЛАСТЬ ПАЛА, Янукович бежал, СЛАВА новой АРСТОЦКЕ! Я календарь переверну... я попал в квартиру 10 класса там жил Пал Лаич. Квас кстати был просрочен.
glory to arstotzka
Great game with a nice thought-provoking story with 20 different endings (3 main and the other are "side" endings I'd say). The game is addictive and worth its price, I really enjoyed the pixel art style. I'd say the play time is 5 to 10 hours, more if you're doing everything obviously. That's also the kind of game that makes your brain work, you'll have to be focused to play. I'd say the game can be hard at the beginning but you quickly get used to the mechanics and everything is introduced gradually to let you learn, which is very well implemented. The only negative thing I'll say is that a lot of the options you get aren't worth it when you consider them objectively, such as upgrading your apartment which has no other point than getting an achievement.
muy divertido
good game play
jor jor well would be proud.
one of the all time greats. genuinely have 0 notes for this game. what a wonderful experience with fantastic gameplay and an even better atmosphere. not only does this genuinely excel as the simulator it claims to be—it's unnervingly fun to look for the discrepancies to the point where younger cousins who had no interest in the narrative at all used to beg to use my old laptop to play this—it's also a phenomenal exercise in storytelling. this is a game i always end up coming back to. oh lucas pope you will always be famous to me
