Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
10 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
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): 1.29/day in the week to Aug 26 → 0.71/day in the week after.
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.

Невероятные приключения выросшего пиздюка на свою голову, который ушёл искать батю ушедшего за хлебом. Вас ждёт: -изнасилование собак киркой, с помощью крайне кривого управления. -Кривой гавностелс -Душные подземки зажопинска -Спятивший бомж в духовке Очень душная первая часть из двух. Еле осилил её прохождение. Нужна просто для понимания сюжета.... Но вторая часть нивелирует практически все косяки, так что если есть желание - дерзайте.
Call me an ATF agent the way none of those dogs were spared. Crap jokes aside although dated, this was a relatively solid survival horror experience, honestly choosing to not fight the dogs and have the power of newtonian physics and beef jerky at your side in trying to trap the dogs in the yellow containers early on or the gas piped cages later on instead would make the experience a bit more threatening but I felt like it was more trouble than it was worth so I put them ol' Busters down the swift way. You can beat the game by pretty much not using most of the things you have but that's pretty much my only gripe I suppose, in rest I enjoyed the atmosphere, the puzzles were fun and simple, the funny little Half Life reference and reading through all the notes for every bit of lore the game had to offer. If you don't want to get spoiled about a part right before the end of the game, don't read this here. [spoiler]Poor Red though, I really liked the guy, going through his room and seeing everything sadened me more, I guess there was no other way :ccc[/spoiler]

A short and not overwhelmingly scary horror game. Gave me Half-Life vibes with a lot of the physics based puzzles. Pretty good. Worth the 4-5 hours.
вайбовая часть
Esta bien, lo que no me gusto para nada es la forma de pegar a los bichos, bastante tosco eso, lo demas bien xD
amazing game
имба игра я обосрался
This is one of my favorite survival horror games. I cannot decide on what exactly I would like to point out, but it sure is one of the few games that gave me a spook. The environment alone, feels like a real threat. Also, I really got invested in all of the smaller stories hidden in the diary pages you pick up. A lot of this game is dated, now, but I'm still talking about it every once in a while.
i love and hate this game, i love frictional games and have played most of their games on steam, but this one is a bit older and might feel a little more agitating than most, but not in a bad way if you really like this franchise, i just wouldnt play this game again lol but im happy to finish it too.
Рекомендуется только при должном энтузиазме в отношении к играм Frictional. И причиной этому является не то, что Penumbra это только "проба пера", первый, неказистый проект разработчиков, в котором они определяли свои сильные и слабые стороны (что можно проследить в динамике от первой части ко второй), не стоит ее воспринимать только так. Она является самобытной относительно тех же амнезий, и имеет свои собственные фишки и сильные моменты, ради которых стоило бы игру опробовать. Однако многие элементы игры будут делать ее крайне тяжелой в восприятии. Чего стоят только собаки в первой части, которые вместо хоррор элемента вызывают только раздражение, и сюжет, претенциозность которого явно превышает возможное впечатление от него. В общем, не стоит надеяться на многое, но и [b]игнорировать[/b] если есть какой либо интерес жанру [b]не рекомендуется[/b]. В любом случае я крайне рад что к Amnesia the dark descend разработчики смогли в полной мере реализовать свое творческое видение, которому в Penumbra мешал недостаточный опыт.
