Prices
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): 1.14/day in the week to Sep 1 → 1.14/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 2,402 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.

Je suis personnellement assez déçu de ce deuxième volet. l'introduction de Shion était cool mais ( SPOILER ) J'ai trouvé ca juste inutile de faire pop un autre perso pour le faire mourir a la fin. sinon le reste de l'histoire est cool mais je trouve qu'il y a trop de ressemblances avec le premier comme par exemple Tomitake et Takano qui meurent et comme par hasard Tomitake est mort en se grattant la gorge juste après la cérémonie comme Takano, comme dans le premier. La fin nous laisse sur un gros clifhanger. Même si celui ci est plutôt pas mal, J'aurais préféré ne pas survivre au coup de couteau et ensuite qu'ils nous annoncent que ce n'était pas Mion qui nous avait blessé ce soir la, Ca aurait plus alimenté ce cote mystère, Mais ce n'est que mon avis. Je le conseille quand même car surtout vers la fin, le jeu nous réserve des moments de suspenses et de surprises. Appart les points que j'ai cité au dessus, le jeu reste bien mais n'arrives clairement pas a la hauteur du premier qui est pour l'instant mon favori.
I really liked this chapter! I had to redownload it to get the final achievement of reading all the TIPS, though. [spoiler] I was skeptical about whether I'd like Mion as a character going into a chapter based around her, but I came to really love both her and Shion. The story formatted the twist of them being identical twins in a way that had me doubting my own judgement multiple times, and I was even convinced up until the reveal that they had to be same person. I am skeptical about Miyo since her time of death was before they went into the warehouse - but I'm sure that'll come back up later. [/spoiler] Nevertheless, this chapter was a great segue from the Prologue chapter, and delivered on a different and still very interesting plot despite reliving the same days as the previous chapter.

A Doll is that serious
i keep reading it. i can't stop. i love this too much. thank you mr. vn god for higurashi when they cry
keiichi my son where is your survival instinct
4.5/5 Rating. Probably one of the better revamped sprite designs, story is great. Only reason this isn't a 5/5 is that I got so many duplicates of the same trading card, still bummed out about it.

A continuação da história é realmente cativante, mudando o foco para Mion, o jogo desenvolve bem cada personagem e conta mais um pouco da lore, recomendo, vale o preço.
Worth the money! A long chapter that will make you emotional, better than Onikakushi in my opinion.
