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.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

This game is probably one of the best desktop simulators I've seen in a while. Only about halfway through but the story is very interesting and has several layers of complexity behind it. The puzzles don't leave you grasping at straws to solve which is probably the best part. Each puzzle is built of the last one and if you read the clues and know a little about how to navigate an old windows computer it shouldn't take you by surprise. That being said, this game has some of the more creative puzzles I've come across in a long time. Very unique styles and what's best is that the music changes as your going along and just adds to the experience. This game is also vey good at preventing you from messing up the game and soft locking yourself into a corner. It's also very good at guiding you to the next step in the game and not having you lose hours of time on a puzzle you shouldn't be solving yet. If you don't know what to do it's because you're not suppose to be there yet and I really appreciate that concept of game design. The people who made this have a great understanding of how old school computers feel and its a great experience. I don't know what else to say without rambling so I'll just end it with the fact that this game is a really great game and I'm having a lot of fun playing it.

60r买不了吃亏买不了上当,思考量巨大,好玩
Very very fun game, was gifted it by a friend and beat it in two sessions cause I was so addicted to the puzzle solving. It feels really fulfilling and the gameplay is a fun mix of kinda spooky and puzzles. Most the puzzles are pretty easy when you think outside the box and have fun solutions, the only thing I never really got was the [spoiler] Encryption key puzzle [/spoiler]. Maybe Im just not that smart and didnt understand it but I had clue what you were supposed to do there, thank god for guides. anyways really really good game I had so much fun, I hope the studio keeps making bangers like these
Wow. Just wow. I got gifted this game by a friend of mine and went into it without any expectation of what was in store. It was such an experience I can't even really put it into words here, but I'll try. This game takes you on a journey from start to finish, at times an uncomfortable, visceral, anxiety-laden journey, and at other times, a hopeful, bittersweet, charming one. The puzzles will have you bashing your head against the wall until you are finally hit with the "AHA!" moment and you feel like a genius. The soundtrack lets you be absorbed into this world and stand in the shoes of people who you have never met but yet feel like you've known a lifetime. The artwork and differing styles of each segment keeps the feeling fresh and inspired with every new segment you explore. To describe this as a game would be doing it a disservice, it is an experience, one I will not soon forget. 10/10
Beautiful game. An unsuspecting gem. It offers an opportunity for introspection, has a FANTASTIC soundtrack, and had me in tears by the credits. Highly recommend.
perfect
A REAL BRAINTEASER GAME!! All the puzzles are fun and get more challenging progressively. The storyline is also captivating. I have only looked for walkthrough online once because I got scared by one of the levels and just wanna get past it quickly XD I bet I've missed a bunch of easter eggs and I have not finished the game yet at this point. So far I would give a 10/10.
one of the best games i have played in a Loong time. i never leave reviews for games either, but this one deserves all the love. If you were on the fence about getting it like me, do it. you will not regret it.
第一二章感觉像两个游戏,而且这个nextroom也太烂了,,,
10/10 no notes! Great puzzles. Unique puzzles. Challenging puzzles. Good story telling with solid pacing. Well done!
