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.

Excellent atmosphere! Slow walking, the story is a little boring until the end, but just enjoy the aesthetics of the game and atmosphere and you will appreciate it. Took about one hour to complete :) Excellent overall!!!!!
Хороший VHS Хоррор, сюжет отличный графика настораживает, атмосфера пугающая. Есть скримеры мне их хватило. Отличная игра
Понравилось в игре - картинка, мыльность фотокамеры прикольная, а вот сюжет как-то подкачал, да и скримеры были не страшные

Cannot move or control character in any way. I load in and then just have to spin around and alt+f4 to exit the game. I have enjoyed the previous games from this dev but this one does not even function.
Почти вся игра спизжена с новогоднего хоррора от этого же разраба, почти все похоже, в игре все очень медленно, это начинает раздражать, много нелогичных моментов, весь твист понятен еще чуть ли не в начале, но графика и атмосфера прикольная, ну за сотку сойдет, а так переделанная другая игра
In The Dark Gift wachen wir als Spieler im dunklen Keller unseres Hauses auf und stellen relativ schnell fest, dass unsere Familie offenbar nicht anwesend ist. Also beschließen wir kurzerhand, das Haus auf Vordermann zu bringen und uns um die Vorbereitungen für den Weihnachtsabend zu kümmern. Dass daraus kein gemütlicher Heiligabend wird, zeichnet sich allerdings ziemlich schnell ab – denn im Haus gehen eindeutig merkwürdige Dinge vor sich. Im Verlauf des Spiels stoßen wir auf abgetrennte Gliedmaßen und Köpfe, die nach und nach ein dunkles Geheimnis offenbaren. Dieses ist ehrlich gesagt recht vorhersehbar und dürfte am Ende kaum noch jemanden überraschen. Atmosphärisch ist das Spiel schön dunkel gehalten und dadurch durchaus beklemmend. Das Sounddesign ist stellenweise gut gewählt, sorgt an manchen Stellen aber auch eher für ein Schmunzeln als für Gänsehaut. Die Story leidet etwas unter ihrer Vorhersehbarkeit, während die Taskliste oben rechts fast schon das eigentliche Highlight darstellt – so klein, dass man bei längeren Aufgaben ernsthaft darüber nachdenkt, die Brille auszupacken. Mit einer Spielzeit von rund einer Stunde bietet The Dark Gift solide Unterhaltung. Wirkliche Jumpscares sind allerdings kaum vorhanden. Es gibt zwar ein, zwei Versuche, diese sind jedoch entweder sehr vorhersehbar oder nicht optimal getimt und lösen eher ein Gähnen als einen Schrei aus. Nichtsdestotrotz hatten wir durchaus Spaß mit dem Spiel und fühlten uns insgesamt angenehm unterhalten. Kein intensives Horrorerlebnis, aber ein netter kleiner Weihnachtsgrusel für zwischendurch. ✔️ on Stream gezockt ⭐ Bewertung 5.5/10 📺 www.twitch.tv/giftigescookie
The game is unplayable. Once you load in, you can't even move. The most you can do is look around and exit the game by either looking at the EXIT sign or Alt+F4. Fortunately, I think I figured out the problem thanks to another game from JustTomcuk, "The Holiday Story". When we started that, I opened the keybinds and noticed that none of them were set. My guess is that something happened in a new update that removed all of the keybinds, which is extra bad for this game because it has no menu.
Very slow (!!!!) walking simulator with cheap jumpscares. (seriously, why can't I sprint?) Story was predicatble from the very beginning. But that might be, because I watch horror movies and play horror games religiously. The hints at the top on the right are too tiny, you can barely read them, though they grow bigger when you proceed. (why?) Goals are unclear (e.g. collecting laundry and not knowing how much is left.) The lighting is another big issue. There was stuff I needed to see, but couldn't, cause it was too dark. I have my brightness all the way up. All together: I spent 99% of the game slowly walking from A to B with no clear goal, cause I couldn't read the objective, only to find out that I have been right with guessing the story from the very begging. All that while having bad jumpscares thrown in my face for no reason.
very good game, but also very depressing at the same time!
please make him walk faster or give him a chance to run. He walks so frustratingly slow!!
