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.

was fire
I cannot praise this game enough, as a lover of ARGs this checked all my boxes in the pacing, puzzle building and just overall vibe. I also appreciate it wasn't a jumpscare or threat of failure type of game. It made the the experience generally relaxing despite the still-eerie atmosphere. All in all a great experience and how I would love to experience it all again.

Where to begin. I effectively binged this game over 2 consecutive days (And lost sleep in the process) Its been a wondrously Mind bendy experience. The puzzles will certainly test both your critical thinking and your computer literacy, but all the clues are there. Only really had 2 puzzles that I truly struggled with, and 2 occasions where I had to look up a hint to push me in the right direction. But its all definitely solvable without. I just needed the push. 9.7/10 0.3 points off for that early Time puzzle..... Hindsight is 20/20, Could have used an extra example. My recommendation though.. Keep notes and make use the drawing apps both in game and on your actual computer.
wow. what a phenomenal story and game through and through. won't spoil too much, but the theming of legacy and connection is so well done, especially at the end. every character is tragic, but feels so real. especially max; she is such a great character to contrast with hal and emmett with. the puzzles were super great too! i will say, some of them were rather unintuitive, but i don't think any of them are impossible by any means! not to mention the overall aesthetic of the game is immaculate. i grew up in the era past the older, boxy computers, but i get this sense of anemoia from all the pictures, sounds, and experiences i hear about. so it was something of a dream to get to live something similar to what it could've been like. obviously, i know that a lot of the elements were just the game, but it was still so tangible. amazing game. credits song made me cry. will be thinking about this for the rest of my life.
解谜游戏。需要从各种地方挖掘隐藏的线索,拼凑出密码来过关。 + 谜题种类多样,需要充分发挥想象力。难度适中,所有谜题都有提示,部分题可以暴力破解。 + 作为小游戏来说,演出不错。流程长度也不算短,加起来有三大章、几十关。 - 对“桌面”概念的发掘不够,仅停留在外形上。例如:绝大部分操作只能鼠标点点点,键盘仅能用于特定关卡,快捷键更是完全没有。 - 说实话,感觉剧情有点尬。
