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 · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

Как люди докажут, что ИИ стал разумным? Хорошая головоломка с чилл музыкой. Читать записки одно удовольствие.
Addictive puzzles and beautiful settings
Contrary to most people, I really don't think this game provided as challenging puzzles as I wanted until the DLC, the puzzles were a bit different each time but in general they were mostly based on out of the box thinking rather than anything else. I still enjoyed the game but it was harder to maintain interest when each puzzle only took around 5-6 minutes and that was on the higher end. Would be nice to have more puzzles like some of the stars in the DLC which were really complex and provided a real challenge.

The best game!!!
Frogs are people too
A brilliant game. If you just like a good puzzle game, this game is great. I came for the puzzles, but I stayed for the quiet, slow-burn, and mysterious story that was built. The story-telling, though deliberately and atmospherically obscure, still blew me away, as did the ending. Definitely worth purchasing even at full price / not on sale. (Random tip: I think it's a better experience if you go for 100% before going to the ending.)
jeu sorti en 2014, lancé pour la 1ère fois en 2025, ca vaaaaaaa, a peine en ♥♥♥♥♥♥ je l'ai beaucoup apprécié, ma collectite aigue a adoré chercher les étoiles cachées, j'ai juste détesté les succes qui se contre disent, vous obligeant a refaire une grosse partie du jeu pour les obtenir si personne ne vous a prévenu (si vous etes au courant vous pouvez juste reload la sauvegarde au moment en question)
Крутые пазлы, хоть иногда и мозговыносящие и слегка репетативные. Наверно главный минус для меня - визуал, который сейчас смотрится очень скучно.
It's a great puzzle game, better than Portal IMO, but my 2 brain cells just can't comprehend the puzzles after the beginning levels, an issue i have with all puzzle games in general. Anyway, if you're into those, definitely grab it, the story is really interesting and i was enjoying it, but unfortunately i don't think i'll ever be able to finish this, at least not without a guide.
