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 17 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,502 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.

Reviews
This is genuinely a great game. A solid 8 or 9/10. As to not repeat too much what everyone has already said: Puzzles are great, music is good, the variety of complexity and style throughout the game is engaging, and the story gets you invested. There were significantly more upsides than downsides to this game, but everyone has said them already. The only downsides (1. which are small and rare, 2. Are 100% subjective) are: I wish there was more freedom to do things or explore each profile more. Like being able to use the internet more or having more details to look through on each persons profile. Although I imagine that could be very difficult and tedious to program. It was kind of lacking (for me**) in the "Psychological Horror" aspect. There was definitely some creepy-ish parts, and there is an undertone of horror. But it relied more on creepy images and/ or rooms, rather than creepy dialogue, story beats, or characters. The music was fine, but in a game like this (where there isn't spoken dialogue and the only sounds you really hear are computer UI noises and misc. sound effects from any given puzzle) having good and engaging music would have made it more enjoyable. There was a handful of songs that I liked, like the music for Max's chronolog, but there were many more that were kind of forgettable or not super enjoyable to listen to for extended periods of time.

A neat and challenging puzzle game with the aura of an abandoned mall. Act 3 felt a tiny bit rushed, but overall excellent. Loved the ending!

不错
I'm halfway through this game and i absolutely love it! Would give this a 10/10. The puzzles are fun, and i even had some goosebumps while playing it. [spoiler] The maze puzzle reminded me of the scary maze game, [/spoiler] and i expected some crazy jumpscares but thank heavens there weren't any. If there were, I'd poop my pants.
感觉第二章和第一章以及第三章比有点差了,明明是游戏里比较重点的部分结果变成了3d解谜游戏,玩的很疲惫xd,不过解谜还是可以的,还是比较喜欢第三章(太短了!!(指第3章)
esta en español no hagan caso ala descripción, pasaras horas de entretenimiento, dale una oportunidad. si te gustan los puzzles y indagar este es tu juego.
A few of the puzzles stretch logic, but there's so many incredibly clever ones in Desktop Explorer it hardly matters
