Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
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.

About
Add-ons
Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Updates
Build ids and update times come straight from Steam's PICS — the same source SteamDB reads. Patch history grows as we record new builds.

Reviews
One of the most amazing games I have ever played in my life. I don't even know how to describe it other then to say it is beyond play worthy.
Ame este juego desde la primera vez que lo vi. Lisa the Painful es un juego que para mi es muy triste, profundo, chistoso en algunas cosas y hermoso. En mi oponión, me encanto y se los recomiendo a todos los usarios de steam como un juego muy bello. Te amo Lisa the Painful.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 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.

NOT a game to sleep on, the game manages to balance its quirk and humor with the total "everything is bad!" premise AND setting. I love brad and the diverse differing cast of party members and others; even if someone is "ugly" there's always something more to them that makes their writing be what you think about of them.
My brother gifted me this game and I found it slow, frustrating, extremely unsettling and slightly traumatising. Cons: - There was too much monotonous walking around (particularly annoying for someone with bas in-game sense of direction). - There are not really any satisfying puzzles - most of the game is fairly simplistic. - I didn't feel like I had enough choice regarding the decision making - I appreciate that it can be funny for the outcome to be set regardless of the choice of the player but I feel like that joke was over-used in this game. Pros: - I loved the art style. - My brother was satisfied with how much the game tormented me - I would therefore recommend giving this game to someone you know feels obliged to complete games in order to torture them.
LISA: The Painful is my FAVOURITE game ever, seriously just everything I love about the medium in one package. ...Don't play it. It'll ruin your life.
Gave my entire family line PTSD and Depression 10/10 would play again Experienced improved by playing in a bathtub with a live toaster
I’m not crying… you’re crying!
10/10. Games like this are the reason why I love this genre so damn much. Dustin Armstrong is my GOAT
fabulous little rpg. my favorite part was when brad said "Well, LISA:... this truly was The Painful - Definitive Edition after all..."
