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.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 20 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10.5 places towards #1, and the 2,491 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

很喜欢
Another great indie gem in a stacked year full of indie gems It is ultimately a very linear puzzle adventure, but it is incredibly good at simulating it's core premise and leveraging it for some incredibly compelling and novel puzzles, that test the player lateral thinking and how good they were at using their old windows 95 computers. Definitely go in as blind as you can, to maximize the quality of your experience The quality of the story was also a pleasant surprise. The narrative goes well beyond the standard "ooogah boogah buuuh my puter is haunted!!11" creepypastas and managed to keep me glued to the game, until i reached the credits. Definitely recommended.

So far SO good
After playing a lot of free demos released for steam next fest, desktop explorer ended up being the only game I've bought, and I'm so happy I found it (or it found me) I loved the demo and I love the game so far. I literally bugged people at work, telling them they should play it. So yeah, I definitely recommend it. I feel that the puzzles are tailored so well, not too easy. Also what I like is that it's not asking you to remember a lot of things at once, you know when you're done with a puzzle. So you don't need to finish the game in one sitting. I usually play for an hour or two daily, so it's important to me that I'm able to get back in the loop easily. One more thing I'd like to add is that I found this game very inspiring, since I also work in the gaming industry, and would love to have a project of my own one day. I know that there's a lot of struggle in the indie development, and I'd love to see this game reach a wider audience. I hope the devs are proud of what they made, it's an amazing game.
such a cool experience. i thoroughly enjoyed this game from start to finish, makes me wish i could play again for the first time. the operating system functions extremely well, and it's almost indistinguishable from just using an old computer. the story is deep with a lot to uncover. if your looking for a short but fun way to kill time and solve some puzzles, i would highly recommend!
fun puzzles, incredible storytelling. Imagine if there's an insanely deep secret hiding in the game...
最后两章内容有点少,希望可以出dlc扩充 前两章有几份地图没有用到 剧情与玩法相当可以
GOOD GAME
TLDR: Great Game, enjoyed it alot. Cannot recommend more if you enjoy this genre of Game. The Puzzles were intuitive and never too hard or too easy; The Narrative is extremely well done, some part of the game gave me actuall chills and did unsettle me, which is somewhat rare for me. The whole design of the game, especially the sound design is also superb, normally I listen to the usuall background noise while playing a game, but I found myself so immersed into this game that I did not need it and felt activly annoyed by anything other than the game, well done. The only thing I would like to add for the developers is the pacing, I found the first Chapter to be awesome and perfect in length, but the whole Nextrooms part of the game (while narrativly important) took what felt like ages to complete, after beating that Desktop Explorer I was a bit sad to see that the Tower was somewhat short in comparison (maybe something for the future?) But I never once felt like my time was being wasted. Thank you for producing this work of art. Cannot wait to see whatever comes next. (Ignore my spelling mistakes :) )
