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.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Well worth the playthrough If you eNjoy detective gAmes/haunted computer type simulators. Puzzles are challeNging but Never too difficult, story was deep, and the whole experience was quite engAging. Definitely a recommended purchase.
As someone who spent a great deal of time on Windows 95 and 98 and who could spend hours without internet just messing around in the default programs, system settings, and file trees, this hit just right. I haven't played a lot just yet but I am in no rush and just want to savor the experience. There is so much care in the visuals and the music. I am recommending this game widely.

Me and my viewers LOVE THE GAME. But AAAAA MY IMAGINATION HATES THE CABLES MINIGAME. Detective quest from Maxime part is PEAK tho. Im #1 guppy part hater. especially chess and labirynth puzzle. Tho. Game definitely 9/10
I really enjoyed the demo, but the full game disappointed me. I enjoyed the visuals and music of the whole game, the puzzles were fun in the first section, but the characters and their stories just were not satisfying. I wish they focused on puzzles similar to the demo, some puzzles took me and my partner too long to figure out and when we did finally solve them they didn't make either of us feel satisfied.
뭔가 퍼즐의 연속인데 풀면서 딱히 지적 쾌감이 없음. 재미없는 구몬 숙제 푸는 느낌. 스토리도 중반부까지 본거같은데 몰입될만한 미스터리도 안되고 공포도 아닌 이도저도 아닌 스토리.
If you love puzzle games, then this is the game fore you. Everything about this game is good: - the music: good. - the story: hella good. - the puzzles: challenging but extremely rewarding. i highly recommend this game.
What an incredibly fun game. I've been supporting this game since early development, including an ARG they had in their discord. Throughout all of that, it built my expectations for this game fairly high, and I'm glad to say that they really met them. I enjoyed all acts of the game, and while some of the puzzles were a little confusing, they were still solvable. Some of the puzzles were very enjoyable to solve, and the music and visuals to follow them were incredible. The story was easy to follow and interesting, with an ending I truly enjoyed even though I know a few other people don't enjoy it. I highly recommend you play it, or at least try out the demo. Support the amazing dev team as well.
Desktop Explorer is a quite fun concept, and I think that the execution is quite strong on the puzzle front. It is difficult to judge a game based upon the puzzles, because their difficulty is dependent on the person doing them! (For my money, only two or three puzzles here were quite hard. Other than that, its coasting.) Where this game shines for me is the vibes. And the vibes are truly *[u]Chefs kiss[/u]* If this had a mode where I could just put one of the desktops on and chill out with the music, chunky ui, notetaking app, that would be very rad. Moving past the presentation, the structure of the game is pretty straightforward. Each pc user profile is a different chapter, and they tell a story of a family all together. Milage will vary, but I found one quite good, and one quite whatever. I think that the story the game is telling goes to some interesting places, but [spoiler] the story is fundamentally a difficult thing to tell, and the game doesn't land it.[/spoiler] [spoiler] The thrust of the story is a family that has fallen apart i guess? But the actual text of the game doesn't really make this clear, and in fact the characters relationships are a bit murky. [/spoiler] Anyhow, the game runs well and only had one issue with the actual performance of the game. In the arcade, I had a wonky camera trigger. Still, it was absolutely playable and was no hinderance whatsoever. In conclusion, great vibes, fun puzzles, interesting story that doesnt nail its landing. Very much a good game to hammer through over the weekend.
Re complicado
Good game, similar to hypnospace outlaw, I liked the story and the puzzles felt difficult but never unfair
