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): 0.86/day in the week to Sep 7 → 1.57/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.57/day in the week to Jul 26 → 1.57/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
Step into Dark Pals’ abandoned children’s mental health facility. Once bright, cheerful, and welcoming, it now stands warped by time, neglect, and forgotten memories. Armed with your Ink Blaster, you’ll explore unsettling spaces, solve environmental and logic-based puzzles, and evade the facility’s disturbing mascots.
But the more you explore, the clearer it becomes: this place knows you.
Do you remember?
The facility is home to a cast of colourful yet horrifying mascots, each hiding a darker purpose. From Chompy Chasey, a dog with a comically large head and deadly teeth, to other forgotten figures, such as Binky Drinky, lurking in the shadows of these forgotten halls.
Progression isn’t just about escaping, it’s about perception. Using your toy paint gun, you’ll be solving puzzles that play with your expectations and sense of reality. Rooms may change their layout, you may have to put your morals and sense of self-preservation aside, and you need to keep your wits about you if you want to survive.
What begins as a cheerful lobby slowly reveals something far more sinister. Catchy, irritating tunes echo through empty halls. Bright colours mask unsettling truths. Every puzzle and encounter draws you closer to the truth about who you really are, and why this place still haunts you.

I like this game, even if the mascot horror genre is a bit downhill. Overall 8.5/10. Can't wait for a sequel.

Für mich ist Dark Pals ein Spiel das man nicht so schnell vergisst. Ich habe es wirklich geliebt, vor allem wegen der Story und der Grafik, die fast wie aus einem kleinen gruseligen Kinderbuch wirkt. Man merkt einfach, wie viel Liebe zum Detail drinsteckt! Dieses Spiel hat mich sehr überrascht! Die Musik passt super zur Stimmung und macht alles nur noch intensiver. Freue mich definitiv auf einen neuen Teil. 10/10 Vielleicht kein typisches Horrorspiel, aber genau das macht es irgendwie aus. Bitte weiter so!
honestly its so weird but in a positive way, its very fun though, ill say that :). I literally have [spoiler] "Hey It's Me, It's Omeletteman" [/spoiler] stuck in my head 24/7, LOL
