very good, all my homies love Galerius
An outstanding adventure RPG. I agree with others that you should play this game completely blind. However, it's impossible to point out some of the things that make this game so great without spoilers. You progress through the adventure within a small community, where each character plays a critical role in the story. These characters feel real and are genuinely fun to interact with. I also love the game's theme, which draws inspiration from multiple ancient cultures. Different ethnic groups express their perspectives on predecessors and successors, adding depth to the world. There are also touches of philosophical questions throughout the story, which I enjoyed a lot. [spoiler]As a time-loop game, I think what makes this game special is that you inherit more than just your knowledge. Most of the items you obtain are carried over and remain usable in the next loop. There are also various mechanics and shortcuts that let you skip many repetitive tasks, which is something many similar games fail to do well.[/spoiler] [quote]Reviewed by [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45820397-DetotatedGamer/]Detotated Gamer[/url][/quote]

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 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.

If you liked Outer Wilds and similar type games, this was very fun. A bit smaller in scale and playtime but very good overall
A really excellent game. The atmosphere is top notch, and the voice acting is very good.
It's actually a good game; however, I was unable to unlock the third ending due to an error in the game's quest logic. I realized that this is a common issue that has been encountered by many players. I tried to resolve the issue using several different methods mentioned on the Steam Community forums and Reddit, but none of them worked. I initially thought that I was missing something and that I simply had to google “how to unlock the third ending,” which is sometthing I generally refrain from doing. I immediately lose interest to the games that force me to descend into the crypts of metagaming. [spoiler] If you reach the Upper Cistern by climbing the vines, you will never be able to tell Galerius that the Golden Rule is about to be broken, so he won't be able to gather the folks in the Upper Cistern and that's the first step for you to unlock the tthird ending. [/spoiler] Other than that, the dialogue, graphics, and gameplay were good.
A pesar de las buenas críticas que tiene no le veo justificación... y eso hablando en rebajas porque a precio completo es una burrada... Es un bucle y vas descubriendo y avanzando en la historia a medida que vas rompiendo las normas de esa civilización y volviendo nuevamente al principio, pero es que las preguntas a las diferentes personas que tienes que investigar y ir sacando información sobre ellas a ver quien va a cometer un delito son extremadamente repetitivas, además que las respuestas que te ofrecen los npc no te hacen meterte en la historia, más bien quieres saltarlo todo de lo poco interesantes que son. Mi recomendación es, si de verdad quieres darle un change y probar por ti mismo, irte a instantgaming y pillarlo por 2 euros.
好玩
A fun bite sized experience. Overall, would say it's worth playing if you want a unique gaming experience. Enjoyed the story, but the fourth ending is a bit amateurish. Did we really have to involve scifi elements in this?
very fun and enjoyable 10/10
J'adore l'histoire et je suis main ekko sur lol, j'ai donc adoré ce jeu.
