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 Aug 8 → 0.14/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 2,400 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.
About
Livber: Smoke and Mirrors is an interactive psychological horror story shaped by your choices: one steeped in love, obsession, and madness. Every decision you make, every step you take, will pull you deeper into your own personal insanity.
Lilith, whom you believed dead for years, calls to you with nothing but a letter, summoning you back to the old house, silent witness to your past. Inside the letter, there is only an address and a few haunting lines:
"I will birth our creation in our home. Come, and crown us in the dark. You and I must always be one."
And so, on a night drowned in rain, you return. Through the windows, candlelight flickers, proof that someone is inside.
Lilith… or whatever remains of her.
Within those walls, long-buried memories resurface: betrayal, passion, and wounds that never healed. Lilith has been waiting, not just for reunion, but to complete a dark plan set in motion years ago. And with every question you ask, you’re pulled further into a reality that no longer feels like your own.
Livber: Smoke and Mirrors is a text-based interactive fiction game in the choose your own adventure tradition. Your choices don’t just influence your next move; they reshape the entire narrative. The doors you open, the questions you choose to ask, or the silence you choose to keep, can all lead you to different paths, different fates.
As you’re pulled through these dark halls by Lilith’s obsessions, no choice is right or wrong. Every decision alters how the story unfolds. And in the end, when the sins you tried to bury rise through the soil, all that remains is who you’ve become.
At every step, one question will haunt you:
"Who do you become when the one you love is gone?"
With over 60,000 words, Livber: Smoke and Mirrors is a dark psychological thriller about how love can decay, how longing can twist into obsession, and how sometimes, to love is to destroy.

An incredibly well written thriller! I love that you can just hover over words you don't know to learn the meaning and build in incredible world! Creepy vibes and a beautiful redhead - What more to say? 10/10 - also there is a cat
A tense, taut, and interesting interactive horror. A lot of the press around this game compared it to Disco Elysium. I think that does the game a bit of a disservice (despite Disco Elysium being a fantastic game!), as it doesn't really resemble Disco Elysium beyond both being interactive fiction/having heavy IF elements. This is not one of the many projects trying to follow slavishly in DE's wake, it's a far more traditional interactive fiction piece, but a polished and fantastically written one that shows off the genre's strengths. An easy recommend for fans of interactive fiction or horror literature.

This game gave me way more than what I was expecting. The art is wonderfull and the narrative is not only incredibly catching, but it holds a new surprise after every single click. I havent enjoyed a game like this in so, so long. It's an absolute must.
[h2]Livber: Smoke and Mirrors is an absolute must-play![/h2] From the very first moment, it’s clear you’re in for a psychological journey rather than just another game. The story instantly hooks you — mystery, unease and a sense of looming danger pervade every scene. The tale of Lilith is truly a puzzle, and your choices genuinely shape the outcome. 🕯️ The visuals deserve special praise: it’s like stepping into living paintings. The gothic atmosphere, moody and rich in subtle details, makes exploring every screen a unique experience. 🎨 But the biggest surprise for me was the music! The soundtrack is simply stunning — sometimes I found myself putting the mouse down just to sit and listen. Some tracks sent shivers down my spine and completely immersed me in the world. 🎶 Honestly, I wanted to linger in this musical realm for as long as possible. What’s also impressive is that the game doesn’t feel formulaic or artificial. Everything is crafted with real passion and care. Multiple endings encourage replaying, and each journey feels new and surprising. If you love atmospheric visual novels, unique horror experiences, and great music — I genuinely recommend Livber: Smoke and Mirrors! It’s one of those games you keep thinking about long after the credits roll. 🌑✨ Gameplay: https://youtu.be/pZHlzdjjYus
there were indeed...smoke and mirrors
Its my first visual novel that I bought as I recently started to get into it. Story is engaging. The atmosphere, writing, and music all blend beautifully. Characters, question and author's reply draw me deeper in the story. So far so good.
Demodan sonra tadı damağımda kalmıştı. Hikayesi çok iyi kurgulanmış, oynarken birçok farklı ihtimal düşündürtüyor. Bir an bile sıkılmadım, hatta bir ara o kadar içine girmişim ki çizimlerin üstündeki açıklamalara bakmayı unuttum heyecandan. Ses ve müzik de gerilime ve hikayeye çok güzel eşlik ediyor. Sadece belki çizimler daha iyi olabilirdi diye düşünüyorum. Onun dışında harika.
Ich mag es soweit. Ein merkwürdig schönes Visual Novel mit Eldritch Horror, Wahnsinn, Traumabewältigung und sehr vielen Pfaden. Ich kann es nicht abwarten endlich den letzten Akt mal zu sehen da ich es irgendwie ständig schaffe zum selben Ende zu kommen statt einem der vielen anderen...
I like the game especially musics and illustrations and their caused athmosphere. Story was good and compelling. I like the Lilith mith and i think developers done a good job with the mith. So in the end thats my honest reaction... https://r.resimlink.com/J9a-MLRqNnu.png
Came for the mysterious hot living dead witch girlfriend, stayed for the delicious grief meat. Gross, gothic, emotional, and genuinely memorable. The branching can get a little exhausting and I wish the cosmic horror angle had more payoff, but the core story about guilt, memory, and refusing to let the dead stay dead really got under my skin. Not flawless, but absolutely worth the trip into the basement.
