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 Sep 11 → 0.17/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.

i need everyone ive ever known to try this game. i want it to take off. it is fantastic. i wish there was a bit more tutorialization on pressure, i don't really understand its mechanisms smoothly. but more than anything i hope we get more guides and stuff on the steam page
i want to like this game more than i do, its very repetative in a frustrating and boring way, walk around the circle, do your little tasks and by the time you walk around somthing else will have broken, ive had to stop writing this three times because of somthing breaking check the bar is it going down run to motor move the wheel do the fuse box click the black box spin the motor do the timing minigame (this one is the only one that actualy lasts more than a minute without breaking) flip the switch check the number collect coins wind it up type the number repeat a couple dozen times and youll earn coins slightly faster

A great little indie game about obsession. If you play a lot of idle games or you're a completionist, the story might resonate with you. It starts creepy but there's no real scares. It left me with some ideas to mull over.
They got a lisp interpreter in the basement.
I Know this game seems redundant and pointless but it means more than you think and honestly helped me understand things. or obsession
Three major problems I have with this game: 1. The developer does that thing where they act really proud of their detective vision feature. I don't think anybody except game developers have ever actually liked detective vision. 2. No jump button. I realize there's no reason to jump but it always feels weird when I'm not able to. 3. Linux support isn't great. I get diagonal screen tearing on the default version, and if I go with the Vulkan version the game crashes every time I go through a doorway (although who knows if that's exclusive to Vulkan). Maybe it has merit that makes up for this bad first impression. I don't know. But I don't have time to waste on games that don't leave a great first impression.
the existential dread incremental that you definitely need in your life. arf
THE MACHINE NEEDS ME AND I NEED THE MACHINE
Loved the vibe. Missing a few hints sometimes but awesome to figure it out.
Fun short incremental game about becoming a linux poweruser
