Prices
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.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 3 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 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.

Pretty sweet, with lovely art and cute music.
9/10 Honnêtement que dire de ce jeu hormis qu'il est sublime ? Il m'a touché de plein coeur, surtout en tant que personne familière aux hôpitaux et a la solitude. Les personnages sont très bien écrit, ils sont profondément humain et on se reconnaît facilement dans leur complexité. Le seul défaut irait peut être au protagoniste qui souffre d'être le main character dans un VN donc elle a un tempérament beaucoup plus manichéen. Hormis ça l'histoire est courte mais touchante, le design est vraiment unique et colle a merveille avec le scénario. Je vous conseil de faire les 6 fins proposés par le jeu pour vivre pleinement l'expérience.

lots of emotions and a hard hitting story
çok iyi oyun bi de türkçe dil desteği olsa
Cute short story, entertaining and interesting, and the Death route is actually a challenge. There are definitely worse things to spend 6 bucks on.
There isn't a lot to talk about this game, good music, good art, good story even tho I don't like when [spoiler] Scarlet turns into Rouge, it was really random lol [/spoiler]. I won't say its 100% worth the price, cuz the game is short, I would prefer to wait for a discount or something. I also wanted to say for you to ignore the Italian guy review, I don't think he even gave the game a shot or neither ever played a Visual Novel game. If I had to guess, hes probably a troll.
Je m'attendais pas à grand chose et j'ai été agréablement surpris, le jeu offre à chaque personnage une histoire touchante et tragique à découvrir, des personnages qui nous révèle leurs personnalité aussi mauvaise que bonne, une nuance assez intéressante. L'ost est très jolie et le style graphique très sympathique, un superbe jeu
Sad, melancholic and beautifull
I am an aspiring writer, surprisingly. This game has a pretty cool story, with a little thing I wanted to add, incase people didn't notice; the title itself is a reference to the two main ways people get out of the social hell. They either, die, and Return to Ash, or escape, and Return to Ash in the real world! Overall, this game was a fun experience, and although short, still had a pretty good message. 7/10.
Прошёл на 3 основные концовки, со смертью еще не трогал. Что могу сказать? Игра по моему мнению пик всех визуальных новел. Сначала я забрал её в эпике на распродаже, поиграл пару минут и бросил. Но я был в ней заинтересован, поэтому и купил в стиме. Ни о чём не сожалею.
