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): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 31 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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


You Shouldn't Be Here is a short psychedelic visual novel that takes place in a strange world filled with harrowing creatures. You’ll meet Dimitriv who is willing to keep you safe as long as you help him with something.
The story touches on topics such as mental health, exclusion, and various other existential questions.
The gritty pixel-art, together with the somewhat erratic and despairing soundtrack, intends to create a dreamlike, bordering on nightmarish, atmosphere.

In the shape of the infinite, I am one.
Swallowed by an ocean of bliss.
No choices to be made,
no stories to unfold,
no riddles to solve.
No, nothing at all…

You really shouldn’t be here..

Reviews
Surreal and mysterious if never really creepy visual novel about grief and the weight of our responsibility towards others. Neither too short nor too long, the fun layout of words and images as well as an affecting personal touch keep what's mostly an average exercise in therapeutic art from feeling dull. For the price it's offered I'd say you may as well check it out but you're not missing out on much either way unless this sort of thing is Really Your Jam.
A pretty harrowing short story about addiction. Great art and an ominous soundtrack. Ends on a slightly hopeful note, maybe? But overall... dark!

This game has one of the best crafted jumpscares I've ever fallen for. A little poop came out but I couldn't even be mad. 10/10.
This was a great game. Just read, point, click. Easy to play but subject matter is not for everyone.
Brilliant and hit pretty close to home.
A really well written, poignant and anxiety fueling visual novel about existentialism, the constraints of society, and the struggle to fit in when you're not considered "normal". It's short and sweet, really worth the $2. Lovely art too.
Very cool weird psychological horror, strongly recommend
Next time you read poems that don`t rhyme from a junkie, who keeps speaking about gods, everloving, cosmic relavance and stuff, tell him to fcuk off already. Gosh. All these whinings.
A little too much in your face poetic and philosophical musings causes it to come across as pretentious. Overall, pretty good for the price though. I really like the art.
well, ♥♥♥♥... 10/10, im lost for words
