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): 0/day in the week to Aug 28 → 0/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.

Well written but the replay value is pretty low as the options basically boil down to "right option," "not right option but basically the same outcoume as the right option", and "you die." It's a good read though and it's worth spending a few bucks on if you want to kill a couple of hours, but once you beat it you probably won't pick it back up. Basically a chose your own adventure book for PC with some basic turn based combat thrown in here and there.
As a gamebook fan, it was about time to play Dust and Salt. The first thing which impressed me, was the fascinating music; it creates a great atmophere. The story was intriguing and the art well-favoured. I've also enjoyed the Heroes of Might&Magic alike battles and map movement. I recommend this game and am looking forward to play the sequel The Battle for Murk!

Fun little adventure book. The soundtrack is top notch, the art is lovely, the writing is by and large quite decent, and the story, whilst fairly standard, is engaging enough. The turn based battle are very simplistic, and largely come down to using your ranged units to whittle the enemy number down. The final battle where you get even more ranged options is trivially easy. As is often the way in adventure books, often your actions come out to poor outcomes in ways you couldn't predict, forcing you to use the, mercifully frequent, checkpoint system. Although I wish there was a quicker way to speed through the text, although it's not the most egregious. Overall, recommended.
Pretty good choose your adventure game. Only things I disliked was the checkpoint system instead of manually saving and in the climax of the story, things became quite rushed.
Very short game (2.5 hours for me) but a very refreshing change of pace. Looks gorgeous and scratches that choose your own adventure itch. I liked the story and the choices presented. I'd probably recommend waiting until it is on sale though.

Pleasant.
Short, simple and fun. Decent replayability with few choices and stats having some major changes in how the game plays out. Could have more text and lore to make it less rushed experience, but it's still not that big of a downside given the general focus seems to be on decisions and the whole "puzzle" which to make where to get the different outcome later.
Not fun ... No easy to control to play
Really interesting narrative RPG/strategy game with some neat branching narrative paths to explore
