Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

This game sucks ass and I love it. Buy it, it's worth every penny seriously. Also we need a full Mooner Gonner spin off pleaseeeeee
Cheesy, goofy, but entertaining. Story rich game with not much in terms of gameplay. Recommend on deep sale.
Amazing little 80s horror, comedy, mystery, action game. Would love to see much more from this guy/team. Loved the game and thoroughly enjoyed it! Sincerely amazing.

Cool game
Some fantastic voice acting and brilliant art design. Dark humour and great horror. Excellent game.
One of my fav horror games I have streamed this year!
剧情演出挺猎奇的,配音也不错,质量挺高,玩法没什么意思就是商店模拟器然后找东西,结局有点拉了,像是要出续作
J'ai particulièrement apprécié la façon de manger les hot dogs et la façon de me remercier pour les VHS.
Это абсолют синема для портатива. На дечке щёлкайте пресет medium/high - Саунд дизайн бомбовая пушка - Графон, как отмечают многие ,чисто приятная грязь psx - Персонажи незамысловатые: альфа пропёрженный детектив, вечно вычищающий этот загнивший город от ebaнyтых личностей. Его зелёный напарник. Ну и дейвил-маньяк карикатурный. - Все круто и артистично озвучены - Геймплей не успевает надоесть из-за вполне логичной хронологии: вначале шуруем проходить главу от лица жертвы, потом разгребаем дерьмо, играя за детектива. - Атмосфера американских фильмов 90-х Дофаминчик из приятных 10/10 скин степлеров [spoiler] P.s. Не спешите после титров выходить из игры. Грузаните главу с полицейским участком для получения последней ачивки. Нужно зайти в кабинет Дика и повзаимодействовать с предметами. [/spoiler]
Трэш, угар, убийства, атмосфера олдовых хорроров и лютая грайндуха. Рекомендую всем фанатам жанра!
