12 on sale3 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask

The 3 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Sep 8: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 12 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Singularity is often called a “forgotten gem.” Released back in 2010, it still holds up today thanks to its originality and bold mix of genres. It’s a first-person shooter with a strong atmosphere, where science fiction collides with alternate history. The game asks: “What if time could be rewritten?” — and lets you feel the consequences of that question firsthand. Pros: ✔Original concept of time manipulation — the TMD (Time Manipulation Device) allows you to age, rejuvenate, or freeze objects and enemies, creating unique gameplay scenarios. ✔Atmosphere and story — an alternate history tied to Soviet experiments and time paradoxes that keeps you engaged until the very end. ✔Gameplay variety — combines elements of shooter, survival horror, and puzzles. ✔Diverse locations — from abandoned Soviet labs to warped, time-distorted environments. ✔Combat system — firearms mixed with creative TMD mechanics add freshness to encounters. ✔Music and sound design — eerie, immersive, and perfectly fitting. Cons: ➖Linearity — despite great mechanics, levels are still corridor-based. ➖Story presentation — some plot points feel underdeveloped, leaving you wanting more depth. ➖Enemy AI — occasionally too simple and predictable. ➖No sequel — the story left room for growth, but the series ended after this single entry. Conclusion: Singularity could have been a classic alongside BioShock and Half-Life, but instead it became an underrated treasure. It shines with its unique time-manipulation mechanics, moody atmosphere, and memorable setting. Yes, you’ll notice its age today, but the originality and story still make it worth playing. For fans of alternate history and experimental gameplay, this is truly a hidden gem. Rating: 8/10 — not quite a masterpiece, but a special game that leaves lasting memories. Fun Facts: Developed by Raven Software, best known for Heretic, Hexen, and Soldier of Fortune. The time-manipulation mechanics had more ambitious prototypes, but some features were cut before release. Often described as a blend of Half-Life and BioShock. Despite positive reviews, it didn’t sell well enough to warrant a sequel. Considered by some to be an early inspiration for later “time manipulation” games.
