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.
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.

So I'm a kickstarter backer who just never noticed the email saying the game was released. I was just looking through my emails for something unrelated, saw the release email, and I was like OH, whoops. So I got to it a month late with zero expectations, literally having forgotten it existed. I feel like that might be the optimal method for enjoying the game. I feel like had I actually been looking forward to it and built up expectations for it, I would've had less fun. As is, I just kinda got on a random rollercoaster and had a fun time with the twist and turns. I'd recommend it to people, but I wouldn't tell them to get hype or excited for it. Just go in and let it do its thing and laugh along with it.
While the combat can be at times infuriating, the story they present is worth the trip. https://youtu.be/2u7hcuWV77o This is al ost more of a puzzle game than an actual RPG with a ton of documentary footage that tags along. I wish the RPG playing was more fun. The story is great and captivating, but I hated checking the manual nonstop to see what THE EXACT combo I needed for damn near every fight. Overall a fun ride. But so much potential to be an absolute classic in the genre. You almost get mad that the game was so close to being awesome.

6/10 highly recommend
Definitivamente no lleva la cantidad de horas que me figuran como jugadas, solo lo dejé prendido un día de trabajo y volví a las tantas horas. Lo cierto es que de las 11 horas me habrá llevado unas 3 y algo, no creo haber llegado a las cuatro. Yendo al juego específicamente, podemos decir que por momentos es un tanto enredado con lo que debemos hacer, pero está bien, es la propuesta que tiene, recordarnos a los juegos de antes, con los que en ocasiones debíamos usar los manuales que venían con ellos para pasarlos o saber cómo seguir. Esa desde luego no fue mi experiencias pues tercer mundo y todo trucho, pero sí puedo decir que tuve la costumbre de anotar pistas o códigos en hojas sobre todo en la época de los juegos de PS1. Por fuera de lo anterior, hay un enorme componente nostálgico en el juego que se termina resignificando hacia el final y que termina por darle el nombre al juego. El remake de la parte final del mejor JRPG de todos los tiempos. Desde ya, que no es un remake porque no hay un juego original ni mucho menos un tramo final al cual hacer referencia que exista. Y es con eso mismo con lo que juega la narración: hacerse la pregunta sobre la existencia de este juego original. Será Noah principalmente quien la lleve a cabo, una de las personas involucradas en el desarrollo que parece haber perdido un par de tornillos por el camino. También veremos a los otros dos desarrolladores, siempre a partir de videos de desarrollo que iremos encontrando, como suelen tener algunas ediciones del director, y comentarios que se extienden sobre el proceso que se desarrolla detrás de bambalinas. A todo esto hay que sumarle que realmente esta parte final del "remake" no es tampoco un RPG, sino que lo simula. Es más parecido a una aventura gráfica, en la que tendremos que deducir constantemente lo que haremos a continuación o como "combatir" enemigos, que consistirá en introducir la combinación adecuada para cada situación, en función de las pistas del manual virtual del juego, que iremos completando a medida que encontremos las páginas que faltan mientras juguemos. Retomando algo planteado por un juego maravilloso como Tunic (un juego que aparece, además, en la remera de uno de los desarrolladores, convirtiéndose indiscutiblemente en un guiño hacia su propuesta). Como ya se ha dicho, es un juego muy meta, que reflexiona no solo sobre el desarrollo de un videojuego, sino sobre qué significa que uno determinado sea el mejor de su género de todos los tiempos, si es algo que realmente existe o si es algo que creamos con nuestra imaginación a partir de la nostalgia: todo tiempo pasado fue mejor. Y claro, sobre este asunto arroja varias luces esta propuesta narrativa y videojueguil. Se agradece que hoy existan (tampoco es nuevo) cada vez más juegos que reflexionen sobre los géneros, sobre las posibilidades narrativas y que, en función de ello, experimenten con todos los modos de contar que puede habilitar un medio tan complejo y lleno de aristas como el de los videojuegos.
Excellent game! If you like games line Tunic or the Hex or meta-narratives in general you are in for a good time. Also if your in game dev at all you will find this extra funny. Try to go in blind!
If you've ever spent hours arguing online about whether it's Aeris or Aerith, if you remember when fan translations were passed around like forbidden texts, if you accidentally discovered Something Awful twenty years before you were emotionally prepared for it, then this game is speaking directly to you.
The game didn't sit well with me especially with possibly the longest title I've seen. The "game" itself is just a turn based JRPG in disguise but it's actually a puzzle adventure where you play as a [spoiler]disgruntled leaker hired by a game dev?[/spoiler] I'm not entirely sure of the meta narrative whether it's supposed to be a celebration of JRPGs (Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, etc.), a critique of remaking games itself, a documentary of game dev life, friends turned to enemies, the consequences of finding conspiracy in everything or any type of meaning at all. The gameplay mostly insists of solving puzzles via reading a nostalgic manual of the SNES era with writings and torn up pages scattered all over the code of the "game" to then place symbols both in 3D & 2D. It also uses FMV type scenes to tell more of its narrative and is used as a game mechanic itself for solving puzzles since the devs of this meta experience hide all sorts of secrets inside and outside the "game". My problem is that unless you're really knowledgeable about glitches then some of the adventure aspects will leave you lost for hours smashing walls and the puzzles get even more abstract as you go further down the rabbit hole of the "game's code". If you don't mind puzzle games that challenge the idea of what a game is then you might like it but if you're like me and don't see the purpose than I recommend not checking it out. The game bundled with it In Stars & Time, I thought it's a better game narrative despite being limited with the RPG Maker game engine. Even games like Void Stranger use its game mechanics better like how they use steam achievements as a game mechanic for example while also telling a really unique, mind bending story.
I love Darkhart
About everything I expected, the game wears it's inspirations on its sleeve and I found it endearing. If I had to complain about something, it was that some of the attack animations got to be a little long at the later parts, with no option to skip them. Loved the overall nature of the ending, and I will be keeping eyes on the ARG as it progresses
As a lifelong fan of the games being parodied/homaged I really should have been the target audience for TRotEotGRoAT. I love the general concept of a puzzlebox/mystery centered on a remake of a classic JRPG, but unfortunately this one really crosses the line from "challenging and requires looking through everything at your disposal" to "actively hostile to the player" with the combat challenges. At the point where I was told to use a specific element to advance, with no indication that any of my available attacks were of that element and no way to leave the area I was in to try to get more pages of information that might tell me, I decided I was done. I really don't think the general concept of the combat puzzles was even necessary given that there's nothing like them in the 90s games and I doubt anyone would have much enjoyed a traditional turn-based RPG that had them. I certainly don't recommend this one.
