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): 0.29/day in the week to Sep 1 → 0.29/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.

i got this game because i really enjoyed do not feed the monkeys. but this game was not for me - repetitive, did not spark joy or mischief or intrigue. and i didn't love that it was set up like a board game (catan-style). someone else might like it though.
Отличная игра, в стиле "Байки из Склепа". Хочу еще такого! _______________ Great game, in the style of "Tales from the Crypt". I want more of this!
This is more of a visual novel crossed with a board game than a simulation experiment. The art is fantastic, and the card-based gameplay is interesting, but it has very limited replayability, and the inability to save within an individual mission is a big drawback, particularly if you can't just leave it paused on your computer and need to come back to it. I'd recommend it on sale, and don't expect much more than 20-30 hours of gameplay. If you're a fan of pulp comic books, poking fun at conspiracy theories and political satire, pick this one up. Even though it's fairly shallow, it's worth your money.

Интересная концепция и механики После определённого момента становится не так уж много челенджа Есть только сюжетные компании, без свободной игры В целом - доволен
美术剧情都还不错，经典的猴爪式许愿（现在也许更出名的是许愿柳）差评主要集中在游玩体验上，毕竟这是最重要的一部分。类似瘟疫公司的玩法本不应该显得如此无聊，问题是垃圾时间真的太多了，节奏慢的同时没有更多的文本事件用来消遣，明明有类似新闻播报的系统却只用在告诉玩家出现事件记得点和打败竞争者上，有些浪费了。此外，收集一个都市传说需要在游戏内将其提升到4级，垃圾时间就更明显了。游戏中只有两个难度，困难难度就是完成设定的成就，有的还好有的就挺恶意满满的。综上，不管是图鉴全收集党还是成就全收集党都慎入吧。普通玩家想要体验一下合理的入手价位可能是40发烟硫酸上下。
Es entretenido, el sistema de los miedos es desafiante y como te confíes se te puede torcer una partida perfectamente por lo que tendrás que estar atento y gastar tus recursos de forma eficiente si quieres completar los niveles, las historias de los distintos personajes están bien y las cartas bastante curiosas así que recomendado.
很有意思的游戏，尽管刚进入游戏的时候，各种画风，各种奇怪的东西会让人感觉有点劝退。但是如果玩进去了，感受非常棒。只可惜篇幅太短了，打折的时候肯定是值得入的。游戏对于怪谈的探索以及部分阴谋论还是很有意思的，尤其是两者联合起来的时候，还是很眼前一新的
连带挂机吃饭17小时全通关，非常容易上手又有趣的游戏，第一次做反派好激动（）是难得的在世界观、文字展现、画风和机制上都很有意思的佳作。每个地方的探索、每个传闻的消息文本都做到了简短但凝重。人物塑造上，三位主角都很好，虽然第二章和第二位主角的故事有点仓促收场的感觉，但我觉得也反映了“不知深渊者必为深渊所噬”的意味。 [spoiler] 真的好喜欢珍和佐伊两位角色……前者是希帕蒂娅，是莎乐美，是双盲中欲望涌动永不停息的勤奋的恶女，无休止地宣扬坦诚傲慢的罪孽直到死去；后者是被污名的抹大拉的玛丽亚，是天真无知的少女、虔诚温柔的妻子、满怀悲伤的母亲 、无惧无畏的斗士。你灰白的卷发在罩布之下观看着被视作基督的恶人的死……你是圣者，是基督之妻、基督之母和基督之敌。上帝唯一开了玩笑的地方是：十字架上悬挂不死的乃是机器的恶魔。[/spoiler]
La posverdad: el videojuego. Juego con sus más o sus menos pero se me ha hecho entretenido y divertido a ratos, con sus 3 episodios independientes uno de otro (quizá he encontrado el 2º demasiado corto) y una buena duración en general. Hay cosas que el juego no te deja del todo claras pero considero que ir aprendiendolas forma parte de la experiencia. Recomendado.
总是卡死是何意味啊，这游戏还不能自己保存进度，卡死我只能重进游戏又要从头打，能不能修复啊
