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/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.

Across the Grooves may have taken the spot of the best Nova-Box game that I have played (Ik this is the second I played from them but only two picked my interest as for now). The game slightly improved compared to Along the Edge in some areas, mainly and most importantly its theme: the music. As I probably said in AtE review I mentioned the mystical/magical part was not used very much, if not only used at the very end of the witch path(s), but with AtG having the constant mentions of different songs and artists and the usage of the record/Choros fixed what I thought it was the lacking part from the last game; Secondly and even more important: THE SOUNDTRACK. Jeez, the music in the last game was already pretty good but now Nova-Box outdone itself with the song, especially with the addition of lyric song (In Your Absence, A New Emanation, Time Collapses -not the rock version though-) with the big one being Permutations. One of the best pieces of music I listened for a while and I must give huge thanks to Camille Marcos and Julien Ponsoda, as well as Christelle Cannot for portraying Alice's voice, beautiful voice btw. (and also shoutout for the instrumentals; -And lastly: the transformations. Alice's look change here feels both magical and more on the player's choice in comparison with Daphné where there it feels more like it's destined (more because of the player rather than being a balance) and all of them make more sense too unlike in AtE (I'm looking at you, Eulogist of Progress :| ). Also cool that those changes how Alice sings when listening to the record ('60, rock, blues/jazz or pop). Again, shoutout to the singer here. As side notes, nothing else is changed. The drawing/paint style by Nicolas Fouqué + Mélanie Ertuart is still as beautiful as before and the story is still linear, yet exciting to go through it. What amazed me were the appearances of both Frank and Daphné into the game (confirming that both games are happening in the same universe, dope). I just wished they weren't just cameos, I wished they were included at least in three chapters fully, not just at the end or their mention in chapter 2 (to help Alice even more with the Choros). If you've played Along the Edge before and want an even better experience (specially for the music), then Across the Grooves is a must play. Now I'm really into trying After the Wane when it will come out (if it surpasses AtG).

One of those games that had me hesitate between yes or no for recommendation - my true feelings lie somewhere in the middle! But I lean towards recommending, because this is a very unique Visual Novel, the thing about which I loved the most is that it was obviously written by people extremely passionate about music records. There's a lot of knowledge about this (to me) niche interest packed into this story, which I liked - even though I personally am not interested in the technicalities and obscure musicians that any character deems important enough to talk about (sometimes at length!), it charms me to see the passion. The art is beautiful for scenery or showing entire rooms, but for closeups on the faces of characters I found the art style did not work too well. The visible brushstrokes had me overly focused on how the characters often feel extremely two-dimensional in personality (I can think of one character that felt interesting and extremely well-rounded to me, and sadly only met that character briefly). The story itself was interesting, but the game is not in a hurry to drive it forward, taking its time. It felt slow, but easy to get back into if I took the game back up after putting it down. All in all, a nice game. I struggle expressing the vibe it truly has, and I don't think personally I am overly fond of the mystery story aspect of it, but I do not regret buying it, for the very unique experience this was.
The art alone would be worth buying this one, this art style is amazing, and story is also really good. I'm always worried that time-travel stories will lose themselves with all the possibilities of changes, but this one stayed quite centered and managed to land the plane very well. It's quite short, but I find that I like it, and it has good options of replayability. The only downside to me are the singing parts, which are quite bland for a game that talks so much about music, both in melody and lyrics, although the visuals compensate and these sections don't happen often.
The art work is nice. The music fits fine. The idea of the plot is quite interesting and twisted. The experience of the playthrough though is somewhat girly. Dissapointing part is absence of any real choices, imposed love story without proper development of characters relationship, very naive ending and the biggest dissapointment is zero use for the type of your character build - 4 types, acquired from options one makes in dialogue. Not even statistics on the characteristics you have acquired, I'm not even mentioning how good it would make the game, if some of the choices were added, based on the acquired characteristics. What was point in that system at all? It was just fooling you and giving false hope that it matters.
story game with choice making decision. Top tier quality drawing but the music sometimes is lagging. I just hope the music and be a little more stable during each stage. Love the story. Give me a deep impression and strong feeling after the first walkthrough of this game.
+ Histoire mature + Qualité des dialogues + Direction artistique magnifique - Un coup court Visual novel classique dans son principe (beaucoup de dialogues, choix multiples réguliers plus ou moins impactant, images fixes type diapositive, ...) AcrossTheGrooves se démarque par une histoire mature et un style "crayonné" très agréable à l'oeil. L'histoire nous fera voyager dans plusieurs villes d'Europe, en quête de l'histoire d'un mystérieux disque vinyl, en nous faisant rencontrer différents personnages, plus ou moins bien intentionnés, sur un fond de culture musicale. Les dialogues sont bien écrits, et il faudra compter 3h pour le premier run, puis une heure par run supplémentaire en accéléré, beaucoup de passages se recoupant et pouvant être passés. A noter un petit clin d'oeil à AlongTheEdge, leur précédent jeu : on pourra croiser, selon ses choix, certains personnages dans notre aventure ;)
Absolument génial!
Ce qui frappe en premier lieu, c'est la beauté de chaque plan du jeu. Chacune des illustrations (aquarelles) sont une oeuvre d'art. J'ai été subjugué sur ce point. La deuxième grande qualité du jeu, c'est la qualité de son écriture : ici on ne parle pas seulement français, on utilise un vocabulaire très riche et l'écriture est d'une rare finesse. J'ai apprécié suivre cette histoire et c'est un vrai bonheur que de jouer aux jeux de ce studio, me donnant le sentiment de jouer à "Un livre dont vous êtes le héros", mais avec une histoire mature, pertinente et véritablement intéressante. Gardez cette force d'écriture et cette direction artistique qui vous caractérise et vous différencie des autres jeux, ils sont une orfèvrerie dont vous pouvez être très fiers !
Another great Nova-Box game.
nice story
