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.

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.

Reviews
It's a fine enough game for the hour or so of fun it gives and has solid atmosphere. Though a lot of the fear is gone when you realize that there are maybe two real ways to alert the killer, both very obvious, and when he shows up it's not when you turn the camera and see him appear to your horror. But rather a cutscene where we cut to a door, see his boot, and fade to black.
Very scary, one of the truer horror games out there. Good job!

I love this game
Absolutely terrifying little game, its short but perfect for anyone into escape rooms, horror, and crime.
SLACKJAW whispers from the damp concrete like a half-remembered nightmare, where games cease to be mere diversion and become existential traps. As the latest offering from a lone artisan channeling the grim poetry of true-crime podcasts, it drags you into the basement of a predator whose smile never reaches his eyes. Here, survival is not power fantasy but quiet desperation—every creak upstairs a memento mori, every scavenged tool a fragile rebuttal to entropy. In its brief hour of shadowed existence, SLACKJAW masters the art of tension through restraint: hyper-realistic UE5 decay that feels oppressively lived-in, logical yet panic-inducing puzzles born from the mundane horrors of captivity, and a haunting soundtrack that lingers like the echo of footsteps you pray are not descending. It understands horror as philosophy—how the ordinary becomes profane when stripped of agency, how silence itself is a loaded gun. Short, yes, yet denser in atmosphere than many bloated epics; a perfect single-sitting descent that rewards the patient and the perceptive. For those who view games as art rather than spectacle, this is a stark meditation on vulnerability and the banality of evil, where escape is victory not through combat, but cunning reverence for the small detail. Flawed in its brevity for the price, perhaps, yet unforgettable in the way only true artifacts of dread can be. Play it once, in the dark, and feel the jaw slacken. Highly recommended for connoisseurs of the macabre.
Short and sweet! Loved the atmosphere, music, and sound design!
THROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS GAME full playthrough here- https://youtu.be/BiLaLRvclqw
its so good i love the music i was sitting there for a long time just listening it was most of my game play
A fun little Halloween escape room. It's not particularly inventive or challenging in a puzzle sense, but it makes up for it with atmosphere. Would have loved to pay $5 for the playtime but I'm not mad I paid $9.
this is a scam
