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): 0.5/day in the week to Jul 21 → 0.8/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.

The Deadseat takes a familiar horror concept and twists it into something genuinely creative, placing you in the backseat of a car with only a handheld console to distract you from the growing tension around you. What starts as a simple distraction mechanic quickly becomes the core of the experience, as the game within the game begins to bleed into reality—forcing you to manage resources, defend yourself, and react to threats in a confined, constantly moving space. It carries strong Five Nights at Freddy’s-style DNA in how it builds tension and forces awareness on multiple fronts, but the moving car setting and dual-layer gameplay give it a distinct identity. Where the game really stands out is in its execution of that idea. The pacing is tight, making its 30–60 minute runtime feel purposeful rather than limited, and the addition of harder difficulties after completion adds real replay value for those who want to push the mechanics further. The story, centered around escapism and a troubled childhood, adds an extra layer of unease without overwhelming the gameplay. That said, its short length and relatively simple systems may leave some players wanting more depth, especially once the core loop is understood. Still, at a $3 price point, it’s an easy recommendation—a unique, well-executed indie horror experience that does something different and does it well. —The Ember Archives https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45601239/

Great "defend x" style game. Story is interesting too. Only problem can be the audio mixing can be off at sometimes, especially at the last level, where there is only slight sound to rely on, and other sounds can drown it out.
просто, обожаю разрабов, за хардмод мою мышку больше, не кто не видел...
This is peak.
sehr cooles spiel.
quente!
Good game overall, never played much Fnaf, but it invoked the same feelings as when i was a kid watching Markiplier. Loved the audio, too me 30 minutes exactly to beat the story mode with no deaths, gonna play the hardmode soon. Great work guys! Excited to play Feed the Pit Next!
Коротко, що там: Dead seat - (Прикутий у сидінні) Головний герой Калеб, дитина, яка спостерігає за заднім сидінням сварку між батьками. Вона як внаслідок - переростає у серйозну сварку, через що, герой утікає від проблем через віртуальний світ. Та цей психологічний тиск назавжди змінює сприйняття до його батьків і веде до неминучого трагічного кінця. Огляд: Цей інді-горор показує, як батьківський деструктив - руйнує психіку дитини, через те, що дитина відчуває безпорадність у конфлікті між ними, бо прикута до сидінні і тупо нічого не може вдіяти. Це є метафоричним нагадуванням, що батькам слід вирішувати сварки та незгоди - конструктивно, прислухатись одне до одного та говорити з позиції "Я - повідомлення", бо саме це формує малечу. Дитина чітко бачитиме, що незгоди та непорозуміння - це цілком нормально, а у вирішенні проблем - є вихід. Гру рвджу до проходження батьків, та й не тільки, 10/10.
defend the office gameplay with fun/scary gameplay, an unsettling lore, and this isn't a FNaF review. oh yeah and the custom nigh- challenge mode is very hard and fun.
FNaF but car
