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): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 25 → 0.14/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.

Милая и атмосферная игра.
[h1]The Gardens Between | Review in English and Italian[/h1] [h1]-------------------------------[/h1] [h2][i]English Review[/i][/h2] [h3]Pros:[/h3] - Graphics themselves are pretty neat, and the worldbuilding is pretty impressive - A very nice soundtrack - You can really feel the friendship between the two main characters - The reconstruction of what appears to be the late 90s/the early 2000s works with a good amount of nostalgia, which fits the game in its story and message - The ending is pretty touching [h3]Cons:[/h3] - The gameplay is pretty soporific, and it hardly evolves at all - Controls happen to require a little too much precision, sometimes - If Frendt is the one moving out, why did I spot a box with Arina's name on it in the final section? [h3]Note about my very personal relationship with this game (unaffecting my overall opinion):[/h3] Here's another game I stored away for a good while, before finally giving it another chance and reaching it's end. And I have to say, I was well ahead in the story (by the end of the sixth section) when I uninstalled it. And the reason was simply that... I wasn't invested? Like, I had come that far and it all felt like a slog, so I chose to turn towards more interesting games. But in the end I realized it was unfair on my part, and took this ride to an end. I still think this game could have benefitted from a less of a one-note gameplay, but maybe it's just me... [h1]-------------------------------[/h1] [h2][i]Recensione in italiano[/i][/h2] [h3]Pro:[/h3] - La grafica in sé è piuttosto curata, e il worldbuilding è davvero impressionante - Una buona colonna sonora - L'amicizia tra i due protagonisti si percepisce con chiarezza - La ricostruzione di quella che sembra la fine degli Anni 90/l'inizio degli anni 2000 fa la sua parte con una buona dose di nostalgia, che calza a dovere con la storia e quindi anche il messaggio di fondo al gioco - Il finale è piuttosto toccante [h3]Contro:[/h3] - Il gameplay è piuttosto soporifero, e a stento si evolve nel corso della giocata - A volte i controlli richiedono un po' troppa precisione - Se è Frendt quello che sta trascolando, perché nella sezione finale ho scorto una scatola con il nome di Arina? [h3]Nota sul mio, personalissimo rapporto con questo gioco (privo d'influenza sul giudizio complessivo):[/h3] Ecco un altro gioco che ho messo da parte per un bel po', prima di dargli finalmente un'altra possibilità e giungerne alla fine. E devo dire che fossi parecchio in là nella storia (alla fine della sesta sezione, per intendersi) quando l'ho disinstallato. E il motivo era semplicemente il fatto che... non ero coinvolto? Nel senso, ero arrivato fin lì e mi sembrava piuttosto noioso, e così avevo pensato di dedicarmi a giochi più interessanti. Ma alla fine ho capito che era ingiusto da parte mia e ho portato a termine la partita. Continuo a pensare che il gioco in questione avrebbe potuto beneficiare da un gameplay meno monotono, ma forse sono solo io... [h1]-------------------------------[/h1] [h1]Rating | Voto - 7,5/10 com laude[/h1]

Juego original, muy agradable de jugar.
Gioco molto carino, tematica interessante e un po' fuori dagli schemi attuali. Mi spiace per un gameplay a tratti un po' troppo ripetitivo e lento, ma non posso lamentarmi, ho fatto un'ottima esperienza.
no
A cute, pleasant, and short puzzle game with unique mechanics. An excellent mini-game.
