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): 3.29/day in the week to Aug 29 → 7.57/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 4.5/day in the week to Jul 19 → 7.71/day in the week after.
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.
About
Welcome to Phonopolis.
A new puzzle adventure hand-crafted by Amanita Design, the studio behind Machinarium, Creaks, Samorost and more.
In the dystopian city of Phonopolis, life is orchestrated by omnipresent loudspeakers that dictate every aspect of people’s existence. Citizens, bound by the authoritarian Leader's commands, work in unison to achieve his grand vision. Soon, the Absolute Tone—a tone so strong that it would strip every citizen of their humanity forever—will be heard…
By coincidence or perhaps by fate, young dustman Felix becomes the only per son to consciously recognize the threat. Now, he must try to stop the Leader from indefinitely making every citizen a mindless servant. Loosely inspired by the works of Karel Čapek and George Orwell, the story of Phonopolis explores themes of social manipulation and individualism, but keeps the overall experience playful and light-hearted.
With Felix becoming immune to the commands, you’ll be able to take advantage of the loudspeakers and use them to solve puzzles involving other characters. Other times, you will interact with the cardboard environment in surprising, often unexpected ways—turn walls, shuffle floors, control various machinery or tear paper curtains. Each puzzle is carefully integrated into the world and presents a different challenge.
Metaphorically referring to the utopian, totalitarian model of society, Phonopolis is a city built of actual cardboard. Capturing the nostalgic charm of classic stop-motion films, every piece of any building, every character, and every frame of any smoke or flame is hand-painted on a piece of paper, then digitized for use in the game’s 3D world.
The art style is strongly influenced by avant-garde artistic trends of the interwar period such as constructivism, futurism, and suprematism, and their societal impact as a tool of propaganda. The distinct visuals come to life with music from Tomáš Dvořák aka Floex, composer of soundtracks for Machinarium and Samorost 3.

Absolutely beautiful game. Great artstyle and music and very relevant themes. Nothing's better than solving puzzles to some amazing music. Only downside is that the puzzles I got stuck on the longest ironically didn't have the best music at least to me lol.
it’s not a game it’s a contemporary art piece! highly recommend for everyone!
Incredibly beautiful, incredibly fun, and a cute little game that I loved every second of. Some of the puzzles are a little obtuse but nothing that was frustrating, and the game is absolutely gorgeous. Colorful and clearly made with love.

很有意思的解谜互动小游戏，难度偏低，流程较短，游玩时间3-6小时即可全成就 然而解谜互动方面并不是本作最突出的，反而是这部游戏的美术风格以及音乐令人印象深刻，真的是夯到爆了，艺术水准一如既往的高，尤其是前面说到的音乐、交互音效真的绝了，艺术水准真的高，唯一的缺点就是太短了，不够尽兴，希望有更多佳作。 ps:机械迷城真的不出续作了吗/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
beautiful game
Truly a piece of art
Amanita's most recent game and OH can you believe it another banger, what a surprise ! Gorgeous handmade visuals ? Check. Nice little puzzles ? Check. Cute story ? Check. Amazing soundtrack ? Triple check. I keep buying their games on release, and they have yet to disappoint. Really one of the most reliable indie studios, with some of the most memorable games ! Release the next one already please !
The BEST tone
Amanita are an example of dediaction and how to make art with a game, or make a game a peace of Art. I love every little detail they put in their games. I will always recommend their games, and this game is beautiful from beginning to the end. My only complain: too short. But I will gladly pay for more DLCs
Loved playing this game. The game is short and has one of the most unique, surreal, fun world-building I have seen. The puzzles were creative and interesting.
