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/day in the week to Aug 10 → 0.57/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 Dreams in the Peacock House is an an old-school text adventure that diverges into visual novel sections with an occasional simple puzzle. It has been many years since I used a text interface in a game (open door, go west, etc.). It felt odd to reengage this part of my imagination and type my way through an environment. I was briefly taken back to a time when gaming required a different sort of visualization and creative thinking. The good news is that I was not eaten by a Grue in the Peacock House! You begin in a house, unlock doors, and explore connecting rooms to locate magic eyes. Each eye is associated with a dream sequence. You are in the mind of Angus who has been isolated for some time and has decided to wake up and get back to living. Each dream is presented as a segment of an old TV Show and is formatted like a visual novel with some animation and conversation. I really enjoyed the style of the art and the soundtrack. It is a short and surreal adventure that does not make a lot of sense but is engaging and fun to experience. It has some nice touches, such as when you create a "painting" and then see your work hanging in an art gallery! It took me about an hour to reach the Sanctum Sanctorum and complete my adventure. At the end, I realized that I had missed a few things. So, I circled back for a second pass. I’m still short one encounter but am not sure the third time will be a charm. The game autosaves after each of 4 dreams and Steam achievements are not supported. I recommend The Dreams in the Peacock House to those looking for a short, but sweet, nostalgic adventure with art and music that is pleasing to the eyes and ears.

Simply fantastic! It shifts between text-based adventure, classic visual novel, and interactive segments, doesn’t wander in one place for too long, which keeps it engaging, while its difficulty is relatively low. The story is about awakening, acceptance, and inner conflict; it has elements that I think resonate well with the times we live in and how lost many of us feel in life. Maybe I was a little too introspective with that last part? Well, doesn’t matter, what matters is that the game is great and has personality. Buy it, there’s even a duck in it.
This game is probably my definition of short and sweet. If you take your time and truly try to understand what is happening and what everything means its extremely rewarding. I have my own personal idea of what the story means and what exactly is happening that may or may not be what the dev intended but that's the fun and uniqueness of art. i will definitely be looking forward to future projects from the dev. The combination of text adventure, visual novel, and point and click gameplay features was amazing and they all work extremely well together. my BIGGEST compliment is that this game actually tells you if you missed something. Instead of wandering around with an infinite amount of things to type into the text prompt, the game tells you what you missed when the credits roll so you can go back and experience what you missed. I do wonder though if there are secrets not mentioned in the ending. I also wonder if there is a way to achieve a different ending as a lot of plot elements kind of brought that up as a possibility. but nonetheless i thought the game was fantastic and highly recommend it, ESPECIALLY because of how cheap it is. WELL worth it for the money in my opinion. Now part of me does wish that the puzzles were more complex or harder but that's just the inner puzzle game fan in me. hopefully the dev continues at it and releases another game down the line in a similar style with more complex puzzles. And if the dev is reading this, i would like to know what everything symbolizes and means from your perspective to compare and contrast it with my interpretation of the story. TLDR: Buy it, Play it, and Play it again 10/10 Absolute Cinema
Beautiful. If you are looking for a short, self-contained visual novel with a surreal premise, a memorable visual style, and fun (and not frustrating) little puzzles, this game is definitely for you. I love the creativity of the developer, and I will definitely check out their other works on their Itch page. And I also loved how the game told me what I missed through the game. I will absolutely play it all over again to find everything this time.
What a surprising experience to stumble upon! It's a small game but i did feel the creator was able to say a lot that resonated with me, even through the surrealist lens. lovely pixel art, good music, great dream to wake up from. if you've got a few bucks and a few hours, give it a go :3
A delightful burst of vibrant surrealism and old-school charm. To say too much about a game like The Dreams in the Peacock House would be to spoil the fun. The joy of short experimental pieces like this is to dive in head first. To wake up fresh in a new experience and let yourself be taken by it wherever it leads. So for now I'll simply say it's a clever mix of classic genres with puzzles that hit just the right balance of satisfying without disrupting the momentum, and vivid art that perfectly captures the dreamlike atmosphere. I'd love to see more in this style, and I'll be back to see what secrets I missed.
The Dreams in the Peacock House is an enjoyable surreal-dive into a comatose artist and his burden with creativity and past failings. A short experience. Simple puzzles and a simple story. There's not much to say about it. Fun, short, and very VERY simple.
I really like the game but i have a question how do you solve the part where you have to connect all the tubes but the one in the top right can't rotate in the right direction, is there a answer or is it a distraction also i would like to know how you get to figure out the number to call on the phone in that same room becouse i only found 3 numbers and you have to put 5 to call, i would really aprecciate a answer i would normally just look someone else playing the game on YouTube but nobody played the full game yet. Update: i just finished the game it was amazing, i will play more games like this in the future.
Simple, but meaningful and well crafted. Well worth the asking price.
Short and sweet. Its a text adventure and point and click game. I love the variety in the enviroments and UI. It's mysterious and up for interpretation which I liked.
