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.

Awesome game. The only thing I have to complain about is that it gets a bit too easy towards the end.
微恐解谜,恐的部分主要体现在氛围上。 谜题大部分还是挺有想法的,小部分很需要对脑电波。 体量也比想象中的大,三章都是不一样的玩法,但又通过“操作系统”这个载体互相嵌套,很有意思。 个人还挺喜欢第二部分,虽然这部分也是卡关最厉害的……
Good game, fun puzzles, interesting story

牛逼!!! 不玩后悔一辈子!!! 满分中文适配,翻译很有心
God what an amazing experience. The plot had me genuinely taking notes in the in-game notepad, theory crafting what happened. The gameplay was very satisfying when it clicked and most of it was very intuitive and felt cool to pull off, it may be confusing to a lot of people, especially those that aren't the most tech savvy in the world but I think most of the time the game teaches you very well. The puzzles at times felt so unsolvable sometimes where I had to look up a walkthrough to prevent being stuck there for hours trying to solve it, but only 2 puzzles in the entire game stumped me that hard, so overall amazing balancing on them. Overall an unforgettable game. One of those indie games that costs you a few bucks, you spend the entire day playing it and you come out a different person. 10/10
highly impressed! The puzzles are very good. You really do need to think outside the box for some of them. And if you know how to use pretty much basic computer mechanics then most of the puzzles will come to eventually. Highly recommend playing it
Desktop Explorer es un juego donde, usando una computadora vieja, re-descubres la historia que hay tras de ella y de sus antiguos usuarios. El juego está hecho para tú mismo debas buscar las soluciones a los puzles, pero su balance en la dificultad hace que no haya necesidad de buscar alguna guía, pues más allá de unas [u]muy[/u] contadas excepciones donde puedes estar perdido (en mi caso solo fueron 2 veces), la realidad es que es bastante disfrutable y no te exige ser un experto para resolverlos. A continuación, mi más subjetiva opinión de los apartados del juego: ===[ Gráficos ]=== 10/10 Bastante buenos y te sumerge en la estética que había hace años con las computadoras de los 90’s ===[ Dificultad ]=== 9/10 A veces puedes pasar por alto ciertas pistas, o simplemente no tener el IQ para entenderlas del todo, pero no es nada del otro mundo y se puede pasar sin mayor dificultad ===[Historia] === 9/10 No es una [i]Obra Maestra[/i], pero si es interesante descubrir el secreto detrás de todo, además de como toca algunos temas psicológicos y emocionales ===[ Bugs ]=== 9/10 En general casi no me tope con ningún bug, más allá de unos pequeños errores de traducción al Español y uno que otro del Gameplay que puede solucionar por mi cuenta. Aún así, lo siguen actualizando y seguramente no te topes con alguno, y si acaso, no seria algo grave. ===[ Banda Sonora ] === 10/10 Tiene unas canciones que simplemente no quieres dejar de escuchar ... y otras que hasta pueden hacerte sentir escalofríos ===[ Recomendación Final y Conclusiones] === 9.4/10 Si te gustan los juegos donde debes resolver acertijos, historias conmovedoras, y sabes lo básico de como usar una computadora, entonces [b]Desktop Explorer[/b] es para ti
I bought the game expecting a fun puzzle experience with some unique horror twists. I stayed for the gut wrenching story that unfolds throughout all of that. 11/10. What the ♥♥♥♥.
