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): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 19 → 0.14/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.

Overall good game with lots of content. Biggest downside for me are the first 1-2 hours of the game that were pretty slow and not very fun, a shame because after that the game really shines.
The use of pre-rendered old computer game style 3D cutscenes is so powerful. Interesting music and love the cave story look too with the added effects on top.
I'm pretty close to the end but feel fairly comfortable doing a review at this point. It's altogether a pretty cute metroidvania with a good variety of puzzles and exploration and combat and all that. A few puzzle rooms/areas remained tricky, if not outright stumping, until the end, but I imagine someone hellbent on 100% could probably figure it out sooner or later. I did have a few I came back to and was able to "ah-hah!" later. The only trouble is that, being a metroidvania, you never quite know sometimes when you *can't* do a puzzle due to some missing powerup or you're just missing out on some obscure or subtle mechanic that isn't really explored heavily. Still though, overall it was pretty fun - the soundtrack was varied and overall I enjoyed what it added. Definitely love the pixel art style and the characters/overall vibe, the story is a bit odd and surreal but remains intriguing throughout. Really I'd give this a solid recommend overall for sure.
