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.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 28 → 0.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 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.
About

It's 2016. You find yourself in the middle of the night contemplating what a messy year it was.
Things changed.
Or maybe, you're the one who changed?
It really doesn't matter anyway.
All you gotta do now is grab a pot, fill it with water, turn on the stove, and wait. You gotta eat something before going to bed.
And in the meantime, why not do some house chores? I'm sure mom is going to be proud.
...
If only-
If only you hadn't said things. Certain things. Things you didn't really mean. Then maybe, just maybe.
You wouldn't have company this night.

Moody, dark environment.
Immersive, low fidelity (low bit rate and crispy!) sound design.
(so) RETRO graphics and true low-res.
Slightly randomized tasks every run. (Just different combinations, really!)
6 additional difficulty modes to be unlocked!
Short duration (20-30 minutes per run).

Grab a pot, fill it with water, turn on the stove and wait. Wait until it starts boiling.
Complete house chores, go for a walk. The water will boil faster when you're not looking at it.
Pay attention to your sanity. You don't want it to get too low.
If you have a visitor, don't worry. He can't physically hurt you. Just close your eyes near the burning stove and breathe. It's all in your mind.
Just don't stay with your eyes closed for too long.

Trial and error is key.
Pay attention to your surroundings, to your environment.
Finish your chores. Prove them wrong.

For the price, it's a fairly simple and enjoyable horror game. The core gameplay loop of completing short tasks while keeping the windows closed is quite fun, and the game does a good job at building ambience and dread during the first playthroughs. However, your interactions with the entity do come across as very scripted. Your first few times seeing it does make you on edge, but with each subequent time it hides behind a door (only the disappear) it breaks a lot of the fear that's been built, and you realise that nothing actually happens. Maybe that's different on the harder difficulities though. For the price, it's not a bad little indie game.
Water Boiling Simulator - 8.5/10 Water Boiling Simulator is a weirdly engaging little indie game that does a lot with a very simple idea. You’re basically just boiling water, but the game slowly builds tension through small details, sounds, visuals, and that feeling that something isn’t quite right. It keeps things interesting with a few subtle jumpscares that don’t feel overdone, and there’s a tiny bit of story hidden in the background if you pay attention. Nothing heavy, just enough to give it some mystery. Overall, I’d give it an 8.5/10. It’s short, simple, and a bit strange, but that’s exactly what makes it fun.

Cool game, had me tense throughout, completing each difficulty felt rewarding as the tension washes away, the only thing that I would like to see is more difficulty options mostly because i completed the game without dying, a custom night where you choose modifiers and aggression level would be super fun
SOOO PEAK ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! im an absolute sucker for short retro/pixelated horrors like these, so this hit the spot. jumpscares got me every time, and the build in tension is perfect. scariest thing is the mc having an entire pot of boiled water for dinner though.. but each to their own
Reached the boiling point

really not my type of gameplay loop but it's a very interesting and well-made little game! love the graphics a lot
i love boiling water! the gameplay is what i have NEVER seen before, and the storyline the game tells is amazing. this game deserves way more attention than it does. yes, the game is pretty easy and VERY short, but i cannot wait to see how this game improves over time :3 please play this game.
