The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
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): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 1 → 0.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

I haven't finished yet & I'm not the biggest fan of visual novel games, but this one stuck out for me The game loop is very satisfying, as is the setting and characters. You easily become attached to them all To balance all these topics of grief, isolation, the feeling of not being "good" enough, whilst navigating your way though to find balance & care for yourself (Alo), is very well done It has made me laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time It's beautiful
The game had a heartfelt storyline with a good blend of cozy but spooky, draws on the importance of having a village when grieving and I loved the puzzles, hidden gems as well as job tasks! It is devastingly beautiful, the way anxiety and grief is portrayed is so true for many of us and the twist at the end as she regains confidence and trust in herself had me in awe. Would highly recommend if you like story rich games with a twist.

Fishbowl was a highly anticipated release for me, and it did not disappoint. Definitely one of my personal GOTYs! This game was a beautiful story from start to finish that perfectly encapsulated the sudden transition to asynchronous life during the COVID-19 pandemic, coping with the loss of someone you were really close to, and trying to stay in touch with family and friends as you grow up. The art style is gorgeous, the soundscape is lovely, and the gameplay is the perfect amount of slice-of-life, daily chores, and heartfelt storytelling. The cultural aspects of the game were also beautifully done and made me feel nostalgic right alongside Alo. I still hum the Ecocat theme song to myself almost two months after finishing the game! I would absolutely recommend this game to anyone interested in the genre or people who were teenagers/young adults during the pandemic wanting a really well-executed fictional portrayal of the events.
A stunning exploration of grief through a lens that I feel is hardly ever incorporated into literature or media on the topic: the relentlessness of time passing after a big event that's changed your world forever. Everyone experiences this at some point, how odd it feels to brush your teeth and go to school or work after a loved one has passed or a relationship has ended, but I had yet to play a game that leans into this feeling in such an authentic way. The only thing I know off the top of my head to compare it to is Didion's "Year of Magical Thinking," but Fishbowl is innovative and incorporates a bit of magical realism (my beloved) into a life that is lived beautifully in the wake of tragedy. I loved how each character changed and developed over the course of the story, making it feel true to life in the sense that change is our only constant, and in how our experiences shape us and make us kinder people if we let them. Thank you for creating such a lovely game, I highly recommend it if you're at a crossroads in your life or have experienced a loss or event that you can't make sense of. (Also, cozy pixel games are my favorite style of all time, so if you're into that, this will be perfect for you!)
