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 · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 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.

VERY very good brainteaser game. The puzzles are fair but pretty tricky and require a lot of outside the box thinking. I was very impressed with this game, and if the Devs happen to be reading this, I hope you come back with some more games, that was some seriously top notch puzzling.
A lot of care clearly went into this game. I had a lot of fun unraveling the mysteries and puzzles without any guides! If you're interested in a great puzzle/mystery game, I'd highly recommend going into this one as blind as possible!

a cool puzzle experience, reminds me of a different desktop puzzle game involving a calculator. i found a lot of solutions to be really cool on a conceptual level and i really hoped there would be more. my biggest complaint is how little to the admin portion there was, it was essentially two puzzles and felt like a bit of a waste of the system they created for the tower. would definitely recommend.
This is very much one of those "this game is art!" games where you shouldn't read too much about before playing. All you need to know is it's an adventure game that uses a fake Windows 9x-ish operating system as its interface. Highly recommended. None of the puzzles are "hard" per se, but some of them can get pretty annoying.
挖掘舅舅傳承下來的舊電腦其他使用者祕密的解謎遊戲,說是挖掘其實是順著"桌面探索者"這個程式的引導見證他們留下的足跡並了解發生在他們身上的事情。劇情整體來說還蠻悲傷的不過最後算是有個好結局。 謎題大多以上鎖的資料夾呈現,需要找到密碼才能進到下一關。 謎題的難度曲線掌握的還可以,有些需要跳脫框架思考才能理解,但也有特別抽象的(還好那題可以透過窮舉強行破解)。 唯一能挑剔的是部分成就錯過了結局後會沒辦法回收,要重開檔。 遊戲過程中畫面會有些閃爍的特效,多少會嚇到但還沒有到標籤寫的"心理恐怖"的程度,推薦。

I'm on puzzle 9 I think. The fact it was a struggle just to unlock that puzzle makes me realize this game is gonna be good. I love a challenge. I love this nerdy stuff. Lmao. If you like a challenge, you're gonna like this. This is like dark souls difficulty level.
One of the best games I've ever played! The puzzles can be a little confusing at times, but overall they were really fun. That story was so amazing I was crying at the end. I fully recommend playing this game!
This plays like a "found footage" as you explore a computer that hasn't been used since 1998 and you explore the previous owners and their past tragedies. Really tough puzzles and really good story.
All I can say is WOW. This was, by far, one of the most unique and clever puzzle games I have ever played. It forces you to really think outside the box, resulting in some extremely creative solutions. And that feeling of accomplishment after FINALLY figuring out the trick to the answer was incredible. I only have 2 issues with the game: 1) The Chess Puzzle- the solution did not satisfy the rules. [spoiler] The rules state that the rooks cannot be adjacent in anyway to each other, yet the solution had them diagonally adjacent. However, it is possible that I could have misinterpreted the rule. If the rule was meant to be understood as "directly" adjacent rather than generally adjacent including the whole board then that is my error. But it was not clearly stated either way. [/spoiler] 2) The ending was rather anticlimactic, in my opinion. But I am not the writer or dev so that is SOLEY a personal issue, as it is their story to tell, not mine. Neither of these issues would give me cause to grant this game anything less than overwhelmingly positive. I greatly enjoyed playing, thank you Devs!
