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 13 → 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.
About
In the wake of her father’s death, Maya enters the House of Wisdom, a dreamlike sanctuary filled with centuries of knowledge. By transforming elements with a mysterious device, Maya must solve puzzles to traverse the realms of larger-than-life historical Scholars. Each door she opens uncovers the secrets of her father’s legacy, but behind them lie the shadows Maya may not be ready to face.

Explore the awe-inspiring House of Wisdom as Maya, a curious 14-year-old girl seeking answers in the wake of her father’s passing. Navigate nine distinct and thematic worlds inspired by the discoveries and inventions of great Scholars of the Islamic Golden Age. Along the way, enjoy emotionally resonant music by award-winning composer Austin Wintory.

Wield a remarkable heirloom that Maya’s father left behind to transform matter and solve physics-inspired puzzles that reflect her journey. Glide through looping wind channels, tip scales with metal transmutation, walk through walls of immaterial ether, bend light through glass, and more, to unlock Maya’s path. Experience an underlying current of hope that will guide her as she faces the trials of healing that lie ahead.

Experience the brilliant Scholars of the House of Wisdom brought to life by a fully-voiced cast in English and Arabic. Find wisdom and comfort in their scientific and philosophical teachings through entertaining yet meaningful conversations.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful art style and good history. It has very cute and aqdventurous puzzles. It has good movements, but sometimes it felt a little heavy to move. You don't really notice it after playing it for a long time.
Super Duper amazing game, if you are learning Arabic, it is perfect to learn a lot here. If you like puzzle games like portal, and like story based games, you'd like this one. The Environment and sound design melt well together creating an immersive atmosphere combined with great voice actors. especially in Arabic. Well done Studio Lunacy and thank you for bringing us the great Arabic and Islamic Scientists. that are usually not mentioned in the western history despite their immersive contribution to modern science.

Short, but very sweet story of love and loss. The environment is beautiful, and the music is soothing. Controls took a bit of getting used it, but ended up feeling very fluid. The puzzles are not to hard, but they are very engaging, clever and fun. This game is worth every dollar! If puzzle games are your thing, I highly recommend. 8/10
A bittersweet game about grief. The environment art looked so good. The puzzles were fun, not too challenging, not too easy either.
One hour so far in the game, and I had the arabic switched on mid-game! I can say I am fond of the well written dialogue in both langauge, both have a lot of light hearted moments and gave me chuckles. The controls are a bit wonky, but I appreciate the efforts put into this game to make it decently functional. It didn't really ruin the experience much for me so far. And the artwork is beautiful, the puzzles mechanic is very light hearted too. I hope there will be more games like this!
Good game, the story made me kinda emotional :0, I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested. Did notice a bug that made the game crash for me but that only happened two times! The puzzles are challenging my brain which I like. Though I'd like if the text kept up with the voice acting, right now it's kinda lagging behind and the game is a little heavy on my PC, the wheels necessary for certain puzzles are hard to notice, but I'm having fun! The art style is VERY pretty and the music is fantastic <3 Thank you for making this game! I'm looking forward to whatever you're gonna make next
stunningly beautiful world, some nice puzzles and some, that annoyed me a lot (but I guess that means they were also good :D ) but the best part are the wisdoms along the way. Helped me deal with my grief.
Excited to play more. Great job 👍
C'est correct. Le doublage arabe est bon. Des bugs et un gameplay rigide qui disparaîtront éventuellement avec des patchs (j'espère). J'aurais aimé qu'il y ait un véritable sujet de fond sur l'islam intellectuel.
