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 26 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 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.

前作作为免费游戏足够惊人,经典三段式叙述:试胆大会撞鬼+《意外空间》式无限循环公路+护林员上任事宜,铺满了扑朔迷离的超自然氛围,乱序叙事成为一大特色,给整个国家公园失踪事件开了个好头。 而担心本作不如第一集惊艳纯属多余。一上来这个由梦境坠入红幕布与黑白格地板构造的《双峰》空间+类后室循环结构+古神的无厘头尬舞已经足以给人一个下马威了吧。亮点不限于:叙事没止步于乱序而扩充成多线,新增FBI调查员等多个视角切入同一事件以便观其全貌;善于融入找异常等新生时髦玩法(尽管着重于找不同很无聊);自然插入午夜电台和UFO等都市传说;把所有出场角色当作演员来滚一遍职员表……当然多线乱序的叙事也是有弊病的,虽然能提高逼格,一段非常普通的剧情也能被高超的叙述镶出花来,但是它非常容易扰乱思绪,增加了玩家厘清一段完整故事线、逻辑链的困难程度,造成“打通也不知道讲了啥”的尴尬局面,比如本作新增古神和UFO两条解释已经相当混乱了。就两作目前桀骜不驯的表现来看,至少“机构以不为人知目的大量招聘护林员”这条最基本的线还是很清楚的,越来越期待这个剧情走向,也许续作除了炫技和继续发散之外,也该适当收敛起来好好讲故事了。 高度风格化的犀利作品,放眼整个独恐界都是很罕见的。尽管又短又不完整,我还是觉得能刷到本作很幸运,以出众的审美和执行力一举超越技术限制抬高整体质感的典范。
Enjoyable game that is well designed and I liked that this game had real voice actors. Not too much of fan of the anomaly section since it really isn't my cup of tea maybe a P.T. like section would of been better but I look forward to episode 3 https://youtu.be/XaWfDri2xaQ

I'm highly invested in this series so far, very curious to see how all the different perspectives of the characters links together. I really hope we get a third episode! https://youtu.be/nqfYr3UtpnM
Im actually really enjoying this series, it feels random at times (in a good way) and its such a big improvement from the first game. Bunch of little minigames. I need a third episode.
White Male Jumpscare 2.
Episode 2 expands on everything that made the first entry charming and doubles down on creativity, humor, and pacing. It’s clear the developer aimed higher this time, because the overall polish is immediately noticeable. From animated intros to full voice acting and proper end credits, this sequel feels more complete and confident in its identity. The story shifts perspectives early on, placing you in the shoes of an FBI agent investigating the forest disappearances. At first, the narrative jumps—from FBI sequences to reconnecting with the ranger from Episode 1 to controlling an army patrol—can feel disorienting, but the game does a great job tying every thread together by the end. It all comes full circle in a way that rewards patience and curiosity. What really stood out were the minigames. Dance battles, a retro-style PC game, anomaly spotting, and even dodging deer on the highway—each one feels distinct and adds a refreshing comedic break to the eerie atmosphere. They’re fun, unexpected, and make the game feel even more alive than the first episode. The production quality is a big leap forward: voice acting is consistent and engaging, the music fits perfectly, and the visuals are cleaner and more stylized. It feels like a developer growing into their craft and having a blast doing it. Episode 2 is fun, polished, unpredictable, and full of personality. An easy recommendation and a great continuation to the series. The Ember Archives https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45601239/
[h1][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43715729/]Моя кураторская страница "Достойные или нет херроры"[/url][/h1] После неплохого первого, [u]бесплатного[/u] эпизода я присмотрелся к серии - потенциал у неё есть: необычная история, атмосферные моменты, перемешанные с юмором и креативными сценами. Поэтому, как только вышел второй эпизод, я его купил. И каково же моё разочарование: от хоррора здесь почти ничего не осталось - вместо него набор [b]разрозненных мини-игр[/b] и [b]кринжовых сценок[/b]. Для тех, кто не играл в первый эпизод и думает, о чём вообще игра: это [b]многоэпизодный хоррор[/b] с единой сюжетной линией о пропаже людей в национальных парках и причастности к этому рейнджерской ассоциации. Первая глава не блистала сюжетом, но в ней были хорошие идеи: грамотное использование страшных моментов, дозированный юмор и необычные приёмы, которые создали свой стиль - и это цепляло. Во втором эпизоде авторы раскрыли историю шире - точнее, показали разные её грани, которые пока не вполне понятны, но явно сведутся воедино в следующих частях. Для инди-проекта смело не просто кидать отсылки, а вплетать в ткань повествования элементы из [i]Twin Peaks[/i] и [i]Секретных материалов[/i] - за это респект. Здесь вы поиграете за разных персонажей, узнаете о них больше, и, пусть пока неясно, куда всё движется, наблюдать, во что это выльется, интересно. С креативом разработчики подались и в геймплей: с порога - QTE-танцы, мини-игра с аномалиями, аркадная поездка по шоссе с уклонением от оленей, небольшой эпизод в бэкрумах с пазлом. Формально я "за" разнообразие, но есть одна проблема - хоррор не подвезли. Самая "страшная" часть (так себе) - короткая беготня по лесу: собери несколько предметов и временами спрячься от очень глупого монстра. И на этом всё. Есть ещё буквально пара джампскейров, но они предсказуемы до зевоты. Я ждал нагнетания, криповых моментов в лесу, но по факту тут либо "весёлые", но лишние мини-игры, либо долгие прогулки с блеклыми диалогами, где ничего не происходит. Прошёл эпизод за час - и мне ни разу не было ни страшно, ни хотя бы неуютно. Не только из-за слабой "хоррорной" части, но и потому, что большую часть времени съедают те самые мини-игры, пустые разговоры и нудная ходьба. [quote]Возможно, эта глава нужна, чтобы ввести новых персонажей и накидать деталей, которые раскроются позже. В этом плане игра всё ещё держит моё внимание. Но как хоррор - полный провал. Если вам зашла первая часть и хочется узнать развитие сюжета - берите вторую по скидке и пробегите. Очень надеюсь, что в следующем эпизоде вернётся мрачная, загадочная атмосфера: интересная история и классные отсылки тут вроде есть, не хватает именно хоррора. Не хотелось бы, чтобы потенциально неплохая серия так быстро скатилась, толком не успев начаться.[/quote]
Played through the 1st and 2nd episodes. If the dev makes more, I'll definitely grab them. I am entertained. Basically taking the stories of the Missing 411 books, Sasquatch-lore, the "Fire in the Sky" story and adding in game mechanics like Observation Duty, Firewatch, the Backrooms, and all sorts of others and blending them together and it works. Not much replay-ability, but the story/journey is well worth the $3.
This game is the reason I actually use my lenovo legion go. Got me hooked on indie horror games can't wait for episode 3
Forest Ranger Services: Episode 2 ilk bölüme göre atmosferini korusa da beni çok etkileyemedi. Orman ortamı ve keşif hissi güzel ama tempo zaman zaman fazla yavaş kalıyor. Kötü bir deneyim değil ama akılda kalıcı da olmadı. Benim için ortalamaydı.
