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.

It's a nice game for the price. my only issue is that it crashes right at the end of every run. I would also like the man to be more aggressive.
Wonderful little indie game. Love the art style.
In water boiling simulator, you do chores around the house while waiting for your water to finish boiling. But you'll soon find out that you're not alone... It's got some good scares and replay value with multiple difficulties, and I love the visuals. After roughly 90 minutes, I completed regular mode and insomnia 1 + 2 + 3 mode. However, I still have no clue what the sound cues mean, or if they mean anything at all. But I like it!

pawesome game, crashed near the end i think? ("now all i have to do is wait") and im too scared to play it through again, 8/10
I mean, i payed about 1 Dollar: If you like horror stuff and jumped scare, i guess its worth 1 dollar. I really scared myself 2-3 times. its a good atmosphere with the sound and the light. if you don't like horror stuff or boiling water, better don't buy this.
A game about agonizing over teenage angst while doing menial chores. Occasionally jump scares occur, but they mostly get in the way of what the developer really wanted to tell you.
Game is really good and worth checking out
Понравился геймплей и механика состояния (смайлика збоку). Также понравился монстр. Обожаю такой жанр бытового хоррора. Короче лайк.
its short, its cheap, it tells a very small story with good atmosphere and nice visuals. worth playing through, like a high quality itch.io horror game
