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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

хорошая игрушка прикольная мне понравилась
I rarely post reviews but felt I needed to for Desktop Explorer. This game is AMAZING!!! I’ve always had a love for games that simulate an operating system, and this game is hands down the best one I’ve ever played! It brings me back to being a kid and getting on a computer for the first time and exploring the settings and files and seeing what all I can do and find in it! The story is amazing, the music is lovely, the art is fantastic, and the puzzles are so creative and offer a good challenge! You have to think outside the box a lot making it really satisfying when you figure out the solution. It’s also good at reusing tools and concepts shown earlier. I hate when a game gives you an item or mechanic only to use it once and never mention it again. I can’t think of anything this games gives you that you only use once. Truly can’t recommend this game enough! I wish I could wipe my brain of it so I could play it again for the first time!

One of the best story/puzzles games I've ever played if not the best. Do not read anything about it, Do not search it up, just get it and play.
[h3]ノスタルジックなBGMが心に響き 存在しない記憶が蘇った[/h3] 古いPCに隠された真実を追い求める2DミステリーADV デモ版が好印象だったので期待していましたが 予想通り面白かったです 謎解き・パズルゲームが好きな方に特におすすめします リリース後5日で 600件以上もレビューが入ってるのは凄いですね 開発元のSteam第一作目なのに 次回作以降も楽しみな開発元が またひとつ増えました なお 一部ゲームメディアの記事で ホラーゲーム として紹介されていますが 怖いシーンはあまりないので ホラゲが苦手な方でも大丈夫です…たぶん PS 自分のプレイ時間が長いのは 全実績解除するまでやりこんだからです クリアタイムの目安は他のレビューを参考にしてください
This game was so different from what I was expecting and I mean it in the best possible way. I am used to games like this teaching me couple mechanics just so I can learn how to play till the end, but this game? It intoduces new mechanic every single time you thought you already have been getting it! It has much more depth than I was expecting and figuring out who the people involved with the story were is a great deal!
dont look at the trailer, dont look at any guides, download the game and enjoy
A great game, but I'm too stupid to figure out a lot of these puzzles. Sorry for the refund.
Such a unique game: a lot of love went into this one. I love how it captured the nostalgia of an old Windows machine and how the puzzles manipulated that. I also did not expect a puzzle solving game about old PC files to be as atmospheric, creepy, and emotional as it was too. I'd thoroughly recommend you go in blind to this one. If you get stuck, take a break, come back to it, and you'll be surprised how often the clues are just staring you in the face. Had to change some of the graphics settings as the CRT lines were uncomfortable (just like they used to be!) and appreciated that option was available.
Fantastic game! Each "section" has fresh and unexpected mechanics with interesting (but not frustrating) puzzles. Hope this team makes another FakeOS game in the future!
The creepy atmosphere was bad enough, but then the assistant made a cheap jumpscare joke... I was on the fence about reviewing, since so much of this is personal taste, but that really felt like a slight.
