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 Jul 23 → 0.14/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.

Крутая игра, сюжет можно было бы немножеечко лучше раскрыть и в начале было немного затянуто, но в целом очень крутая мрачная атмосфера и вайб . Игра напоминает F2F.
Нелогичная, раздражающая и заканчивающаяся НИЧЕМ игра. Нелогичная: очень забагованная, подсказок то нет вообще, то они появляются не там, где нужно или когда уже сделал нужное действие. Понять, что хочет разработчик нихрена не ясно. Раздражающая: от того, что от нас что-то хотят, но не подсказывают должным образом. Перевод крайне паршивый, и вообще не помогает делу. Финальный забег по пещерам больше бесит из-за ужасной темноты и дурацких смертей по 5-6 раз подряд на мосту. Заканчивается ничем. В чём была история? Где? Как? Почему? Какой-то внятной истории не получилось увидеть, даже с намёками на неё. Ерунда.

This is probably the best game i’ve ever experienced!! Fascinating, i love it so much. Ortymd and others just made a great rival for ea and other devs. Wish you luck, guys!
Decent game, but I have to say I have more questions than answers after completing the game, a lot left unanswered, but nonetheless I enjoyed the game. Gameplay 👇 https://youtu.be/qWNwAC4dqjk
great game, it has mystery, suspense, and horror. and the ending had a great twist. btw if you can't see in the cave just turn the brightness up. still very dark but much more manageable.
Гра сподобалась своїм ламповим вайбом та навіть заставляла кричати від скримерів, але треба грати у навушниках. Ще рекомендація для всіх, не стоїть розглядати всесвіт самотужки, йдіть по сценарію-то будете ламати скрипти, яки ще не повинні бути активованими)) ну і остання глава у печері мені не дуже сподобалась)
Das Konzept und das Gameplay sind an sich ganz cool. Das Setting im Leuchtturm ist ebenfalls gut. Doch leider gibt es nur an wenigen Stellen gute Atmosphäre und gute Scares. Das schlimmste ist allerdings, dass das Spiel nach etwa 1 Stunde einen super plötzlichen Turn nimmt, der absolut random ist, keinen Sinn macht und dir vor dem abrupten Spielende noch 10 Minuten quatschiges Gameplay bietet. Das alles kommt so plötzlich und unnötig, dass es das vorher okaye Spiel komplett blöd enden lässt. Wäre es auf eine normale Weise geendet, hätte ich es empfohlen, aber so war es die meiste Zeit leider relativ boring, nur um am dann richtig mies zu enden
Ich wünschte es gebe ein Neutral Button. Die ersten 3/4 vom Spiel sind wirklich gut, hat einfach einen schönen Charme. Mysteriöse Geheimnisse, wirklich gute Stimmung. Was mir nicht gefällt ist eigentlich alles ab der Höhle, es wirkt dann komplett wie ein anderes Spiel. Dadurch lässt mich das Ende unbefriedigend zurück. [spoiler] Am Ende sind es halt nur Monster, die man tötet und am Ende selbst stirbt. Was war zum Beispiel mit dem Mann den man findet, warum war er auf der Insel, war es vielleicht der alte Wärter? Wer war der Eindringling am Funkgerät und warum wollte er das Schiff sinken lassen. Das passt einfach nicht mit dem Monster Höhlen part zusammen, leider. [/spoiler] Ich hätte mir mehr mysteriöses Cthulhu Vibes gewünscht. So bleiben mir noch Fragen zurück. Aber ich gebe trotzdem ein like weil ich es doch mochte und kleine Entwickler gerne unterstütze.
Nice, vibey game. Once really scared and I dropped n-word ahaha
节奏很慢很慢,很繁琐,也没有那种气氛,玩的我犯困,一点都不好玩
