Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 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 won't let you to get off the hook
[h2]Puzzles[/h2] They start slow (as usual) and get more and more difficult in a nice pace. There is a significant number of puzzles as far as I can tell (I estimate around 90 if the locked content follows the same pattern as the one I already unlocked). [h2]Storyline[/h2] It is an interesting premise that makes you think about somewhat deep topics. It really surprised me how the game is constructed and how they chose to let the player interact with the story. [spoiler]All hail CMD!![/spoiler] [h2]Graphics[/h2] To be expected for this type of game (and release year). I recommend you adjust your brightness/contrast/saturation/etc before you start playing as the game might be a bit too bright. Overall, great game that I recommend to all puzzle games enjoyers.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game—it stands out as a masterpiece that fully satisfied me. The difficulty is well-balanced across every section, despite when collecting stars and tackling World 1 in the DLC. Overall, this is my top recommended game and is undoubtedly better than Assassin's Creed: Unity. By comparison, ACU feels thoroughly disappointing and seems rushed by its douche bag publisher.
Классная игра с загадками и интересными рассуждениями на тему экзистенциализма.
This is a super fun puzzle game sprinkled with interesting philosophical questions and partial works of classic literature. Originally I thought it was too short, but 30 hours of solving puzzles ended up being just about right for me. The overarching story is thought provoking and ties everything together nicely. Well worth the buy.
The puzzles feel more tedious than difficult.
I loved this game, it was tons of fun, got all achievements on base game and DLC, hard as hell though, you will need a LOT of patience and multiple playthroughs
8.5分，很不错的解谜游戏，可以说这是我玩过的最像传送门的解谜游戏，但与传送门相比，还是差那么一点。
Это шедевр, просто одна из лучших игр всех времен. Сложность загадок выносит мозг, а приятные виды и музыка заставляют отвлечься и подумать о вечном, слушая Элохима. Если вы любите загадки и головоломки, то попробуйте эту игру. У вас будет 2 пути: или вы на самом деле не любите головоломки, или вы настоящий профи. Игра вас точно не оставит равнодушным :)
An amazing experience story, puzzle, and exploration-wise (easter eggs). The story is heavily focused on existential questions and shows some interesting points of view. The puzzles are all pretty manageable and there are some harder ones on the more secret path. Did enjoy the easter eggs, as there were some pretty cool and creative ones, and they did give the game some replayability value. As I was replaying the game for final achievements, the puzzles were no longer a problem and you could speed through them, so being able to notice some new details and find new secrets made it more worth it.
