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): 0.57/day in the week to Aug 29 → 0.57/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 11/day in the week to Jul 16 → 0.29/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.

This is more an experience, with a bare-bones 'game' you play to unlock the next cutscene. Once you have a handle on the not-very-well explained rules of the game, it becomes just a robotic process, rather than an actual game. The cutscenes are comic book cutout style, but are very engaging, well produced, and well voice acted. The atmosphere, the good voice acting, and the unusual premise are the reasons to keep playing. I did not enjoy the 'game' but I very much enjoyed the overall experience.
Honestly can't recommend this game enough. The gameplay might be a bit meh to be honest (even getting a bit repetitive) but the story more than makes up for it. It costs about the same as a movie ticket and last around the same time aswell, with myself being able to complete it fully in 3 hours and HowLongToBeat clocking it at 3.5 (humble flex I know) It's worth the money and if you get it on sale then even moreso

Short and sweet! Playing this at the same time as a very long RPG so I appreciated the simple gameplay and length. If I could change anything it would be to up the difficulty on the puzzle aspect and change up the "water the flower" conditions to make it less repetitive. Great one to pick up on a sale :)
A morbid game that honestly is absolutely hypnotizing. Gameplay loop is hard to understand at first but once it is understood, it draws you in, the different modifiers adding a nice level of challenge. The story, music, and voice acting is all absolutely beautiful in the saddest way. If you're into this style of game, definitely a buy for the price - even more so with the addition of endless mode.
like if u cri everytiem (this story is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ harrowing)
I cant recommend this game enough. The story is amazing and heart-wrenching. Music is great and the whole vibe is so different from other games. Actual gameplay is good, fun and interesting loop. Only complaint is i wish it was longer!!! Absolutely love life eater <3
The story, music, art, and voice acting are all amazing. The only downside is that the gameplay can get repetitive after a little while but the game is short so that's not a huge issue.
Honestly one of my favourite games of all time. I feel i should say, while i did not dislike the actual gameplay, there was only one section i can really say i actively liked. This is not a game you are playing for the gameplay. Everything else is bloody brilliant, The art, the soundtrack, the writing, the story, the voice acting(my god the voice acting) Genuinely phenominal, 10/10
Wow! What an experience! Life Eater has an extremely dark tone, putting you in the shoes of a serial stalker, kidnapper, and murderer. Because of that alone, I think this game is going to stick with me for a while. The storytelling and voice acting are what truly make this a unique experience. The voice actors absolutely knocked it out of the park, making the world feel real and believable. The game completely pulled me in for the little over three hours it took to finish. Gameplay, however, is just okay. It plays like a mix of a detective and puzzle game, with levels ending in a short memory game. I think some elements could be tweaked to feel less cumbersome. there’s quite a bit of clicking through actions that slows things down, the rest system seems half baked and unnecessary. Additionally, some clues are so small and easy to miss that discovering them can feel like pure luck. This was admittedly frustrating at times, but I was so invested in the story that it never stopped me from pushing forward. On the technical side, the game ran great on my system. I experienced no performance issues or crashes. At $14.99, the full price feels a bit steep in my opinion. It does occasionally go on sale for around $10. I personally got it through a Humble Bundle for just over $1, and at that price, it’s an absolute steal. Life Eater is a truly unique experience, which makes it a bit hard to recommend to everybody. But if you know what you’re getting into and it still piques your interest, it’s definitely worth checking out.
Unfortunately, this gets old really quick.
