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 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.
About
"How terrible to think that such a bright and noble man is nearing his end. What will we do without our pillar?"
Estranged for a couple of years, a young man rushes back to his childhood home. Dismayed by the news of his father losing his sight and inching closer to his demise, Marius, a priest in training, suspends his long studies at the seminary to be close in his final days to the man who taught him dignity and stalwartness. Under the gloom of impending death, the oldest son of honorable Leon Rosenthal can’t conceive the encroaching events that his arrival will unfold, equally exhilarating and petrifying.
"I've met her. Lord, this was not the first impression I wanted to make!"
Play as Marius as he returns to his childhood home in an attempt to reconnect with his ailing father, stern mother and overwhelmed younger brother. Much to your surprise, your household now employs an alluring young maid, Irina, who charms you from the first sight. But your blossoming romance will soon be tested as a shocking death shakes the feeble balance of this noble family.
"You took my life away from me, tried to bury me in suffering. All that you gave and all that I was, you took away until I was nothing but a bitter shadow of my former self."
The Crimson Maid is an adventure game focused on dialogues, exploration and light puzzle solving. Speak to Irina and your family to discover how they feel, their deep desires and what they may be hiding. Rummage around the mansion and the surrounding estate for clues, optional puzzles, misplaced documents and insights into the family and its past. Embark on a journey of self discovery as Marius comes to terms with his choices, their consequences and the unexpected legacy of his lineage.
"Unintentional, you say? Yes, I suppose one could unintentionally sneak behind me naked, delighting in the view, then trying to get a peek from the side too."

Приятная графика, слегка высоковатая цена на мой взгляд, НО по скольку играл не я , а подруга( для которой было и взято) , то процитирую её слова: "Слегка мыльное кинцо, читала я и по слезливее и интереснее , но сойдёт для ИИчной игры". Добавить мне не чего))) Пс: а ещё её огорчило отсутствие (хоть какое-то) русской локализации.
I’m absolutely in love with this game. It feels like a breath of fresh air in a market oversaturated with generic shooters and corridor horror games. First of all, let’s talk about the visuals. The environment, decorations, mansion, and countless tiny details all look stunning and perfectly fit the game’s theme. As you can probably tell from my playtime, I spent quite a while with this game, and its visual design is one of the main reasons why. I wanted to stop and examine almost every object, and it was especially heartwarming to recognize items that felt familiar to my own culture. The combination of colors, textures, and materials creates a beautiful, painterly world that’s incredibly memorable. I also like how simple the gameplay is. Personally, I think adding combat would have been unnecessary. To me, this is a visual storytelling experience where you’re meant to immerse yourself in the characters and pay close attention to the world around you. I’ve seen some people criticize the lack of voice acting, but honestly, I think the absence of voices is actually a very poetic thing. It allows every player to imagine their own voices, emotions, and intonations for the characters. It’s like reading a book - your imagination creates a unique experience that’s entirely your own. The soundtrack occasionally felt a little out of place and sometimes distracted me while reading. However, the environmental audio design was pretty good. The ambient sounds were on point, and even the UI sound effects felt polished and satisfying. Some of the puzzles really made me think, which I enjoyed. I especially loved the feature involving the birds and the poems, and I found it genuinely interesting to read the protagonist’s thoughts in the journal. The story surprised me. Just when I thought I had figured out every character and antagonist, the game completely caught me off guard. That’s something I really appreciate because the plot isn’t as predictable as it first seems. In a way, the style reminded me of my most fav childhood's game type - search the objects games. Those games often had fairly simple gameplay (just click, drag and drop) but fascinating, mysterious stories that kept you engaged. The game is also very well optimized. I had zero bug, lag, or technical issue throughout my playthrough, and the save system worked perfect. Overall, I’d say this game isn’t for everyone - and that’s not a bad thing AT ALL. If you’re looking for fast-paced action and gameplay-focused experiences, this probably won’t be your cup of tea. But if you appreciate atmosphere, storytelling, and visual novels, I wholeheartedly RECOMMEND giving it a try!

A very beautifully crafted game. The world is vibrant and elegant. I found the story intriguing and enjoyable. I wasn't sure I would. There are some interesting twists and choices(for different endings). I love how there is so much in the world to examine and explore. A lot was put into the details. I haven't gone back and tried any other endings. Just the one. I definitely missed a few things during my playthrough. My only complaint is how there are not a lot of choices in dialogue options. It pretty much tells a story. You can choose topics or ignore them. There are only a few real choices to receive the different endings. It didn't really take away from enjoying the game though. It's a good story. I was not very optimistic about the story. I mainly was attracted to the vibrant world. I was pleasantly surprised. This is the only game of this sort I have ever enjoyed. It is very well done.
I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It is much more linear period drama than mystery, in the sense that the choices you make decide which of the four endings you get, but little else. You are not given clues to solve the mystery yourself. You can work out parts of what is going on, but the big reveal is also a reveal of a supernatural element only hinted at previously in the game. I quite enjoyed it because the twist was a total surprise to me. The puzzle element exists on two levels. There are obvious puzzles throughout the chapters. But while the chapters feel self-contained at first, it turns out that what you decide will impact later chapters in ways that are not obvious on your first play through them. Also, every chapter has a list of how much you can find. My playtime reflects me trying and for a while failing to get the last thing I needed to get everything.
一款风景很优美的步行模拟器，各角色塑造很好爱恨交织的故事很有吸引力，美中不足是说话没有配音只能干巴巴地选对话有点枯燥。
A very engaging story. There is a lot of foreshadowing in the story so there are many turns you will see coming miles ahead, but it still has some surprises in store for you that will keep you on your toes! You can see that the game was built on a budget, all the character models are very static. I do however like the look of the environments. One bugbear that really caught me in the story: since when would it be a surprise that a wealthy, noble family in that era had a maid to help with the household? A family like that, living in such a mansion, in such wealth, would have had a number of servants to help in the house and garden. Irina would certainly not have felt lonely.
It’s not scary or intriguing, but it’s definitely not boring! + Lots of mysteries ----- I loveeeeeee that. Notes here and there, talking to the residents and staff! Wow! ++ I really enjoyed the aesthetic of this mansion- But the plot unfolds too slowly ^-^ I’d like a more dynamic storyline This might be one of the games I’ve been waiting for the most personally
[h1] Beautiful, charming and mysterious - just like the real heroine of this twisted story! [/h1] Paying this game feels like reading a short late Victorian/early Edwardian novel. Its music, gorgeous detailed interiors, and atmosphere transport you straight to the early 1900s. And just like not every novel has to be a masterpiece, there are smaller stories that still deserve your attention and ones that completely hook you for an evening and leave you wanting more. (That's why I bought their other game :3) This isn't a big game, but its art, interiors, classical music, atmosphere, characters, and story make it worth experiencing. You should be prepared for: [list] [*] Cheap animations, [*] A lot of reading, since the game isn't fully voiced, [*] Music that can occasionally become repetitive, [*] A predictable story, with a few twists that may disappoint you or make you laugh if you're not a fan of that kind of reveal, [*] "I can fix her" trope (If you want), [*] Very simple puzzles, [*] AI art [/list] That said, the good far outweighs the negatives. The story is still engaging and enjoyable, exploration is interesting and it pays off, the puzzles are satisfying enough to solve etc. So if you like 3d novels with rare light puzzles and exploration sequences - buy it, this game deserves your attention! Or just play the demo first - and it’s up to you to decide whether to accept it, flaws and all, or not ;) The main message of the story: [spoiler] Don’t cross Irina’s path: "She bamboozled an entire family, hooked up with both the father and the son, and got the MC's brother hooked on drugs and somehow still got a happy ending" [/spoiler] bih wtf ?!
Amazing but short. For a moment I truly felt free, I felt alive. I wish there was more, but alas it ended and the freedom is gone.
Какая красота, а не игра! Отличные диалоги, хотя картины с ИИ неудачно выглядят. Можете добавить русский перевод пожалуйстааа! :(
