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): 0.75/day in the week to Aug 3 → 0.29/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.
About
Mayor May Knott is a “creepy-cozy” 3D adventure game about a shy girl who accidentally becomes mayor of a haunted ghost town.
Initially, May runs in fear from the monsters lurking about! But as she explores the town, solves puzzles, plays minigames, and fixes up houses and buildings, she becomes more confident, overcomes her fears, and discovers that the monsters are actually all very friendly and would love to help May around town!
Eventually, with the help of her newfound friends, May turns the abandoned ghost town into a thriving community, filled with a variety of delightfully creepy creatures.
Repair machines with Grandfather Clock, the clockwork retired rapper. Join Reel McKoi in fishing junk out of the polluted lake. Get your fortune read by the mysterious, sandwich-headed Madame Pastrami. And get insulted by Dick Tater, tyrannical owner of Glitzberg, the seedy apartment complex next door.
And that's just in the first 5 minutes!
Throughout the game, you'll find "records" to play on the Edjukebox in the Hall of Records. Those records teach you new recipes by playing original, professionally-produced songs spanning a huge range of genres -- from rap to rock, country to punk, girl-band to boy-band, and beyond!
Early in the game, May finds and fixes up a device for talking to ghosts. An “Ectophone” if you will. With the Ectophone, May can talk to the many ghosts haunting the houses around town, and try to help them remember their names.
Once May knows a ghost’s name, she can find their “record” in the Hall of Records, a combination record store and city archives. The Hall of Records is also home to the “Edjukebox”, a machine used to play the original, professionally-produced song on each record!
By listening to a new record, May learns a new crafting or cooking recipe! This is called “Edjuke-ation”.
Armed with the recipes from the Edjukebox, May can cook and craft exactly what each ghost needs to move on, leaving behind the key to their house!
The game cycles between day and night, and monsters have their own schedules of things to do. Sometimes the secret to making a new friend is to catch them at the right time, meet them in the right place, or build up the courage to talk to them!
By getting house keys from ghosts, and giving them to the monsters you meet, you can make them permanent residents of your town! Each new resident helps out around the town in some way, and as you add them to your town you gain new options and opportunities to meet new ghosts and monsters, solve puzzles, play minigames, and explore new areas!
Mayor May Knott is brimming with puzzles and minigames, whether it’s a puzzle to deduce the name of a ghost, a quest to find ingredients for a tricky recipe, or a minigame to befriend a new monster.
There’s even a spooky abandoned mine / bowling alley, a haunted mansion full of puzzles, and a creepy endless hallway stalked by a terrifying creature!
As you unlock new areas, repair houses and buildings, and move new residents to your town, you breathe new life into your abandoned ghost town, turning it into a happy thriving community.
Perhaps eventually you can convince all of the monsters to live in your town… even the tyrannical Dick Tater!

absolutely AMAZING game with a great loop and way more than I was expecting! Probably my favorite game I've played this year.
Incredible character design, catchy songs, and really enjoyable gameplay. Recommended even for those who aren't generally into creepier games, sometimes all you need is a bit of confidence! Loved the feeling of cleaning up, making a difference and building a community.
Oh my stars & garters! I took a chance on this game & was not disappointed. It's like if Termina town from Majora's Mask was a game (with notable differences). The tags that apply the best are exploration & puzzle. The game play works on building up your confidence level so that you can talk to increasingly intimidating monsters. You build up confidence by completing task like fixing up the town or helping NPC's. There are tons of bad puns & there is plenty of parody music. The "Hall of Records" is used to to listen to songs about past residents that reward the player with crafting recipes, used to solve puzzles. Thankfully there is no stamina like a Harvest Moon style game, but what lurks in the dark might limit what you can do at the very beginning. The game is overall pretty chill despite appearances or visual theming. Any complaints I may have had were quality of life things, that were addressed by rewards through game progress. A solid recommendation.

best Game ive played all year. Would pay for 2 DLCs tomorrow for a DLC today.
Mayor May Knott proves to be a charming and incredibly addictive cross between a 90s adventure title, stardew valley lite, and a b-movie level monster flick. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience overall. If I were to give any criticism it would be that the mid to late game puzzles rely heavily on glass/bottles, but unlike wood which is scarce in the early game, there is no fast farm method to unlock for it, so there was a fair bit of either doing the fishing mini game and hoping for good rng, or spamming the day night cycle to get the 1-4 guaranteed glass that you do unlock to proc faster. Even then, it was a minor inconvenience. That and some of the perfect house pairings don't seem to have much in the way of proper clues so there is a lot of trial and error for the later half of them. Still not the worst thing in the world, and it never kept me from enjoying myself.
I LOVED this game! So much fun! Puzzles made me think but not overly complicated. I was sad when it ended!
wow
I've been telling all of my friends about this game! If you want to create a community outside of this capitalist hellscape we live in, this is the game for you. I love the fact that there is no shop and even though there are jumpscares, this is definitely not a horror game. The puzzles are so fun and I love that the hint system is so accessible. The game is so charming and I will definitely follow the devs and hope they will keep releasing games like this :)
This game was delightful. Chock full of puzzles that tickled my brain. Got stumped a few times, as you can expect from a puzzle game. But the answers were all there, once I figured them out. It's a fun little blend of spooky and weird and oh so cozy.
Great game with cool game play. No issues or bugs at all.
