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 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

Reviews
A delightful puzzle solving experience. Once you are familiar with the tools unlocked during the game, most puzzles become quite straightforward and often lack the a-ha moment expected from a truly ingenious solution. Nonetheless, the stunning environments and the intriguing philosophical questions the game throws at you keep the whole thing engaging. In fact, due to the release of the remaster I was initially skeptical but, aside from a few textures, the graphics still hold up quite well. My only gripe with the game is that, just like some puzzles, the philosophical aspect felt quite railroaded and constrained, hardly leaving any room for discussion, [spoiler] although I was pleased to see the serpent actually address this issue in-game, making it a convenient "design choice". [/spoiler]. Overall, I am quite satisfied by the whole experience and will likely come back for the DLC and the second game as soon as I get a puzzle-solving itch.

哲学爱好者和解谜爱好者必须体验的佳作,玩完之后会长脑子的。
A timeless oldie. Good stuff!
A true masterpiece. If you love portal or other first person puzzle games, this is a slam dunk purchase.
NPC,无聊的谜题
Very clever puzzles that really make you think hard before reaching the final Aha! moment. The story is also quite interesting and is slowly revealed over the course of the game. The world design gives a strange desolate feeling which only adds to its charm.
It's just brilliant. I can't even call it a game, it's a pure masterpiece.
Загадки хороши . Обажаю уровни с серьёзного сэма.
Awesome game with puzzles that have you thinking. Perfect on the Steam Deck that runs flawlessly with long battery life. Looking forward to playing parts 2 and 3.
