Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
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): 11.43/day in the week to Aug 29 → 21.57/day in the week after.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

解密顶级,剧情还行,还好最后是HE好评
This is a really good puzzle game :)
What an amazing game, woweee! Definitely one of the best puzzle game I've ever played, I highly highly highly recommend this. Clever and VERY (emphasize on VERY) unique puzzles, touching storyline, amazing 90's Windows aesthetics, and the soundtracks?? Just woah. For the scaredy cats (like me!), don't be discouraged by the "psychological horror" tag. You'll be fine, no in-your-face jumpscares, just a veeeeeeery small mild scare. Looking forward for more Recurring Dream's creations <3 LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!

A great, great game. It's actually something fairly unique and genuinely interesting. The story made me tear up and times and was so, so engaging. At several points, I did have to look up hints, its fairly challenging but I would say nearly all of the puzzles you could do with enough time, I just overcomplicate them too much. While I do agree with some games saying the best act is the second act, the others are still very, very strong and very well made. I 100% recommend this game and advise you to not skip any dialogue!! 9.5/10
at first i was playing a video game then I was rummaging through files then i was playing a video game in a video game and then it didnt feel like a game anymore and then i played a video game in a video game in a video game in a video game and then it didnt feel like a game anymore and only when I finished the game did I realize I was playing a video game
boring and bad puzzles
Creative and satisfying, with excellent puzzle design that never gets frustrating. The soundtrack is great, it's funny, and it's clearly made by developers that truly 'get' the internet over the last 30 years - absolutely worth your time
Immersive and clever puzzle game with strong enough writing to elevate the experience. Horror elements add spice but it never goes overboard.
10/10 gaming experience. truly one of a kind for a puzzle game
Wow. I have played A LOT of games this year and this is BY FAR my game of the year. If you enjoy puzzles, you will love this game. 10/10, wish I could forget everything to play it again.
