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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

lvove the game
Pretty cute little puzzle game with some horror elements~ nice aesthetic, mostly good puzzle concepts, and a lot of pretty intuitive design choices. Easy recommendation for the price, looking forward to seeing what the developers do next!
I really enjoyed playing! The puzzles were quite difficult most of the time XD. So def a recommendation if you like all kinds of puzzles. I did have a bit of trouble following the story at the beginning but as the game progressed it started to click a bit more.

Very fun and creative game with an interesting story. Puzzles are not super difficult but are extremely enjoyable to solve.
an incredibly compelling narrative with clever puzzles that plays on early internet nostalgia that adds just the right amount of eeriness
De los mejores juegos indies que he jugado en mi vida. Muy creativo, único y lleno de personalidad. Aunque fuera difícil y complicado en algunos momentos, disfrute cada minuto. 10 / 10.

A very interesting puzzle game that relies on the in-game computer file system as the main gimmick, Desktop Explorer utilises this system well to craft increasingly difficult and well designed puzzles as the player intuit more of the underlying mechanics, building off of the guidance and solution of previous puzzles. Even so, what ultimately won me over was not the puzzles but the sheer strength of the game's narrative plot, which gets you hooked from the get go and never let it up, complimenting seamlessly with the puzzles in the game to make for a truly immersive experience. The end of the final act left me speechless, just staring at the screen as the credits rolled. Definitely go into it with no spoilers, you'll thank me for it later. Throughout my playthrough, I felt like almost all of the puzzles were fair and well designed (with the exception of 2 which I felt could've used slightly better hinting), though an ingame additional hint/clue system would've been welcome. All in all, an extremely strong title, both for its puzzle mechanic, story, and how both elements interwove seamlessly to make for a complete experience. Highly, highly recommended.
