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 22 → 0/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.

You know, there really should be a warning somewhere about THE DOLLLLLLS OH GAWD THE DOLLS
Mam parę zastrzeżeń, ale ogólnie jestem zadowolona. Plusy: - ciekawy koncept strasznego kotka - śliczny, świąteczno-zimowy klimat, a tak mało mamy świątecznych gier horrorów - całkiem przyjemna rozgrywka Minusy: - dużo osób skarżyło się w recenzjach gry na moment w warsztacie. myślę, że wynika to z tego, że (mi osobiście) zajmuje to trochę czasu, zanim zrozumie się jak trzeba poradzić sobie w tym momencie gry. SPOILER: aby uciec od kotka można chodzić tylko nie wolno spuścić z niego wzroku. Ot cała filozofia, ale zanim się na to wpadnie, umrze się już wiele razy, stąd pewnie wynika ta frustracja innych (jak i moja, gry grałam) - koniec jest rozczarowujący. jak przejdziecie to się zawiedziecie, jak ta historia, która wydaje się super, piekielnie głupio się kończy. aż oczy krwawią i serce boli, kto wpadł na tak durny pomysł Mimo wszystko polecam

Overall a very nice, short, entertaining holiday/horror experience. Well worth the price. A few minor things could improve the experience. 1. The run button doesn't always seem to work, or is just too slow at times. 2. Show new objectives as they come up. I would have to hit tab to show it, and when doing this it stops the play. 3. Sometimes picking up items was very sensitive, maybe expand the hit box area around it. It was somewhat frustrating around the end game when needing it.
I had to manually set my controls at that start to even begin playing, played a very boring section of random stuff happening in a store, and then couldn't progress because I could not physically pick up a key. The controls also completely reset themselves again randomly part way through the chuck of the game I was able to play.
Хорошая короткая игра, но не хватает концовки к котором ГГ всё-таки встретил НГ с мужиком. Прости, сынок, но Гринч украл батю в бедну алкогольного угнетения.
Weakest of the Christmas games I have played this year. Graphics are top notch. But the creature is a lame, small fry. The ending though hahahahahahahahahaha. It is so horrifically bad that it is memorable I have to say. Me and my son were in disbelief and then just started laughing. its bonkers. Just about recommended. Close to thumbs down though overall.
смешно пошутил продавец
Overall Rating: 7.5/10 - Such a quirky and weird little horror game. Very fun, super weird story and gameplay, but I really really liked it. It gives "im on observation duty" duty vibes with the graphics and text. If youre into that and super weird games, this is a great holiday horror find, especially if you can catch it on sale. Do recommend.
Very cool idea for another animatronic chasing you. This one was terrifyingly annoying to get through, lol. Great ambience and atmosphere. Just goes to show lonely people get up to no good and try to mess with the public. See my playthrough here: https://youtu.be/bBBtELLhq3k
