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): 3.29/day in the week to Aug 29 → 7.57/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 4.5/day in the week to Jul 19 → 7.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.
About
Welcome to Phonopolis.
A new puzzle adventure hand-crafted by Amanita Design, the studio behind Machinarium, Creaks, Samorost and more.
In the dystopian city of Phonopolis, life is orchestrated by omnipresent loudspeakers that dictate every aspect of people’s existence. Citizens, bound by the authoritarian Leader's commands, work in unison to achieve his grand vision. Soon, the Absolute Tone—a tone so strong that it would strip every citizen of their humanity forever—will be heard…
By coincidence or perhaps by fate, young dustman Felix becomes the only per son to consciously recognize the threat. Now, he must try to stop the Leader from indefinitely making every citizen a mindless servant. Loosely inspired by the works of Karel Čapek and George Orwell, the story of Phonopolis explores themes of social manipulation and individualism, but keeps the overall experience playful and light-hearted.
With Felix becoming immune to the commands, you’ll be able to take advantage of the loudspeakers and use them to solve puzzles involving other characters. Other times, you will interact with the cardboard environment in surprising, often unexpected ways—turn walls, shuffle floors, control various machinery or tear paper curtains. Each puzzle is carefully integrated into the world and presents a different challenge.
Metaphorically referring to the utopian, totalitarian model of society, Phonopolis is a city built of actual cardboard. Capturing the nostalgic charm of classic stop-motion films, every piece of any building, every character, and every frame of any smoke or flame is hand-painted on a piece of paper, then digitized for use in the game’s 3D world.
The art style is strongly influenced by avant-garde artistic trends of the interwar period such as constructivism, futurism, and suprematism, and their societal impact as a tool of propaganda. The distinct visuals come to life with music from Tomáš Dvořák aka Floex, composer of soundtracks for Machinarium and Samorost 3.

This game is very much what it looks like: an interactive story with a unique art style. As shown in the documentary, much of the game's objects are created with real paper, cardboard, and other materials that are sanded, painted, patina'ed, then photographed for digitisation. This lends it a unique, quirky touch that I appreciate - it's a much more convoluted process than pure digital creations, and so you will rarely get such a treat elsewhere. I would call this a buy for people who enjoy the atmosphere that a game creates, at least as much as the embedded game elements. In this way, Phonopolis is representative of Amanita's repertoir.
Я люблю почти все игры Аманиты, я фанат Машинариума и Самороста, но вот этот образчик, а также Creaks вынули из меня всю душу. И если Creaks я вынудила себя допройти силой воли, то второй раз заставлять меня так мучиться уже несерьезно. Первые же 10 минут утомили меня чрезвычайно и продолжать не захотелось. Возможно, дальше там было бы что-то классное, но я уже не в настроении, игре не удалось захватить меня.
Great aesthetic and puzzles!
Výborná hra. Hádanky jsou zábavné a některé potrápí. Taky se mi líbí, že mají hloubku a skryté detaily. Hra má úžasný audiovizuál, kdy je radost se dívat na veškeré animace a poslouchat, jak se hudba rozehrává. Herní doba je slušná, ale je pravda, že bych vzhledem ke kvalitě ve hře rád strávil více času. Český dabing se mi ze začátku zdál trochu krkolomný, ale to se velmi rychle rozplynulo, obzvlášť při dabingu vedlejších postav. Celkově úžasný zážitek.
Muy interesante y divertido y la música de 10.
игра прикольная, но к сожалению не смог пройти до конца из-за бага в столовке
Эстетический оргазм во всём.
