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 25 → 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.
About
Meet Vinnie, aka "The Trickster." In his dreams, he's a criminal mastermind, the terror of banks and the ladies. In reality, he's the guy who tried to break into a gumball machine, mistaking it for a safe, got his hand stuck, and screamed at it until the cops arrived.
The judge's verdict was harsh but fair: "Clinical idiot." Destination: Penguin Hollow Island Mental Hospital.
Everything would be fine, free food and padded walls, but there's one little million-dollar problem. In the pocket of the coat the orderlies carelessly tossed into the evidence room lies a lottery ticket. A winning one. For a million. And the deadline to claim the prize is tomorrow at noon.
You have less than 24 hours to escape the ward, outsmart the orderlies, deceive the doctors (who are already out of their minds), and reach the city.
KEY FEATURES:
• The noir we deserve: Stylish 1930s graphics, jazz, rain mixed with ducks and straitjackets.
• Madman's logic: To solve the puzzles, you'll have to think not like a normal person, but like Vinnie.
• Time is running out: The clock is ticking! A race against time atmosphere, with a fortune at stake.
• Unique characters: The staff at Penguin's Hollow are more frightening than the patients. Find a common language with everyone, or you'll be stuck here forever.

20 картинок сгенерированных через ИИ. Вся "игра" заключается в прокликивании их до самого конца. Контента на 5 минут.
Flying Over the Penguin’s Hollow is a short graphic novel with a film noir feeling and a wicked sense of humor. It is the second title released by the developer Reanim in the last few weeks, and it bears marked similarities to Defective Detectives. The gameplay, the style of music, and the graphics are very much the same in both titles. In Flying Over, the main character is Vinnie. He is a two-bit thief with an inflated sense of self-worth. After acquiring a winning lottery ticket, he lands in a mental institution and is separated from his good fortune. To reclaim his ticket and escape, he teams with Da Vinci – a frustrated artist who has run out of space to paint on his own body. The two navigate their way past a host of bizarre staff members as they sneak their way to freedom. There are no voice-overs, no puzzles, and no inventory. The game consists of illustrations and narrative dialog, with an occasional choice of actions to take next. Usually, only one choice lets the story progress and the others lead to some interesting “game over” descriptions. To minimize replay, I saved my progress each time a choice appeared. This allowed me to go back and make a different selection without losing progress. Without replay, you should complete this adventure in under an hour. Steam achievements are not supported. The game autosaves and allows an explicit save with dozens of available slots. I did not encounter any bugs. I enjoyed my brief foray into Penguin’s Hollow. The narrative is surprisingly well-written, and I admire the creative use of language to build mental pictures. I also liked the dark, “comic book” style of the artwork (which the developer reports to have been developed by A.I.). I recommend Flying Over for those who enjoy a short graphic novel that is dark and somewhat absurd.

Ну, прикольненькая игра. Как сбежать из психушки и захватить миллион. Юмор специфический.
A visual novel with Noir-style graphics will tell us the story of an uphill hero who has to escape from the mysterious medicial clinic, as well as outsmart doctors, medical orderlys and other patients, and eventually get out. Unique characters, an unusual atmosphere and funny puzzles will keep us in the game for a long time, and given the price, it’s just a gift.
Визуальная история с чёрным юмором и приколами, но жаль короткая
