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.
About
"There was a crooked man,
and he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat,
which caught a crooked mouse,
and they all lived together
in a little crooked house. "

Experience the myriad horrors awaiting David as he moves into his new house.
In The Crooked Man, you play as David Hoover, who has recently moved to a new apartment during a rather rough time in his life. In the midst of him struggling to deal with his current situation, David starts to experience some odd occurrences in his apartment, and decides its best to ask a little about the former tenant.
However, he learns little.
Strangely compelled to learn more about this man, David sets off in search of him, hoping to find answers to his questions.

Worth it! Great RPG horror game, I know it's an old game since its release back in 2013 and released on this store in 2018, and also I have been watching this since one of the oldest let's play of one of my favorite Youtuber and definitely finished their series of this game, and now I am glad I can play it on first hand experience!
good game
alguns puzzles precisam que você tenha uma epifania, especialmente nas áreas maiores. apesar disso, a história é bem intrigante com um twist muito bom no final que faz valer a pena. tem alguns momentos em que o diálogo é um pouco cafona mas quando importa é surpreendentemente bem escrito e comovente. me deixou bem interessado no resto da série e acredito que fãs de rpgmakers clássicos vão curtir.

like mad father this game is nostalgic to me too. and i like it and like the endings too. this game is amazing tbh. do play it!
came without much expections left with depression
buenisimo juego, me trajo mucha nostalgia de cuando lo jugue en mi primera pc patata XD, muy buena historia y banda sonora, 10/10 es corto pero aun asi es bueno. y lo mejor es que te deja con una leccion y moraleja reconfortante, por lo menos a mi parecer
Love the smooth graphics and storyline
there was a crooked man, who walked a crooked mile
O melhor da série sem duvidas, particularmente considero uma clássico dos jogos de terror de RPG maker. A história é muito boa, o desenvolvimento do David é interessante de ser visto e descoberto, a ambiência do jogo é ótima e traz uma nostalgiazinha e acho os cenários bem legais e não maçantes de explorar como no último jogo dessa série, o the hanged man. Uma coisa que eu sinto falta nos jogos do Uri é a trilha sonora e quando tem não costuma ser lá algo que se diga uau, mas eu gosto bastante das músicas desse jogo aqui. Tem o monstro e uns sustinhos, mas ao longo da história vira muito mais um terror psicológico bacanudo.
To this day this game is still one of the best rpg games I've ever played. I watched markiplier play it many times as a kid, beat it for myself a few years back. And now I'm finally 100%ing it in a second playthrough. It's just that memorable to me.
