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): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 11 → 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
An American provincial town has seen better days. Now it slowly withers away, shrouded in fog and surrounded by endless fields. Time feels frozen, and it seems nothing can awaken life in Riverwood.

But one day, a group of teenagers discovers a strange, unmarked VHS tape. Driven by curiosity, they decide to watch it, which sets off a chain of terrifying events. The tape seeps into their minds, turning their deepest fears into reality.
You need to uncover the origin of the cassette and escape the nightmare before it’s too late.
Try to help the characters survive — or lead them to ruin. The story will go on either way, but the ending may be hopeful... or not. It all depends on your choices.
You can also influence the relationships between characters by making moral choices.

Reviews
Lovely and captivating visual novel with all hand drawn art. I can't wait for the next episode.
O jogo é legalzinho e é um jogo curto! Não achei que dá medo não, acho q eu tomei um suto no começo e só, como se você tivesse o tempo todo lendo uma historia e as vezes pudesse participar dela. o jogo é divido em capítulos e isso quebrou minha imersão gamer em algumas partes. Tbm senti que poderia explorar mais os outros personagens tbm, ainda mais em acesso antecipado, pensei que teria pelo menos duas perspectivas ne, já que o jogo fala sobre "Um grupo de adolescentes, sem perceber, dá início a uma sequência de eventos aterrorizantes." mas da pra entender. Mas, em geral eu achei uma boa historia e fiquei chocada com algumas coisas, e a arte é super bonitinha, gostei bastante, voltarei quando terminar de lançar.

I was one of the Kickstarter backers. An unfortunate and unexpected issue meant that the team never received the funds we provided. Despite this, the team was transparent, honest, and generous to the backers. They kept us updated and fulfilled the rewards even though they were operating at a loss and the situation derailed their initial plans. I have trust, confidence, and respect for them and am optimistic that they will do their best to complete the game. I'm writing this having finished my first play-through of episode one. I was hooked! The art and animation are captivating to look at and expressive. The music is spooky and the atmosphere is sleepy but suspenseful. The story pulled me in and I can't wait to see what's in store. I also have some feedback for the team on the gameplay. I played on Steam Deck since I have a Macbook and a Mac version wasn't available. The game is playable on the Steam Deck, but not perfect. Selecting options (either choices or to click on items) on the screen using the D-pad or the thumbstick wouldn't work and sometimes would freeze. I would try to use the touchscreen or the trackpad, but that wouldn't work either. I would save my game and reload it and it would work but it would take me back a bit. To progress through the dialogue, you press the A button. When I'd be doing that, a choice would come up and it would select one for me despite me not intending to pick that choice; I didn't know a choice would come up and had been reading the text. This happened in the Run Away or Go Into the Workshop choices, Mom or Dad, and the Wrestle the Monster or Use the Keys choices. It automatically chose Run Away, Mom, and Use the Keys. Looking at the store page and realizing that there were prompts I didn't physically select such as "Pet the cat" because progressing the dialogue did it for me. In addition, I couldn't read the dictionary entries (highlighted in purple). I only managed to read one once and couldn't figure out how to do it again. Navigating the settings on the Steam Deck could be smoother. I had to use the touchscreen instead of the D-pad or thumbstick to select my settings. Once, despite me hitting "Apply" the settings reset to the defaults when I opened my save file. I don't know if that's a bug or if it was on my end, though. As for the text itself, there were some typos and times when the English audio didn't match the written text. Even though I just finished episode one, I'm definitely going to go back and explore the different choices. I can't wait for future developments and to learn what the other characters besides Eva see on the tape. You've done a fantastic job with this project. Keep going! Additional text: I went back to the game to make different choices. If you're playing on a Steam Deck, Valve's default layout is Gamepad with Joystick Trackpad but I had a much smoother experience using the Keyboard (WASD) and Mouse layout. It's not perfect but it's better. However, the game would freeze at unpredictable points and I would need to close the game. Something to keep in mind.
Çok güzel bir görsel roman. Korku ve gerilim sevenin, King ve Lovecraft gibi yazarları okuyanların beğenerek okuyacağı bir oyun.
Чтож... Именно такого и не хватает в наше время в жанре визуальных новелл. Круто, атмосферно, невероятно хочется продолжения. Посоветовала всем друзьям, надеюсь, развитие будет <3
Si bien este juego se ve y tiene una atmosfera increíble, un negativo que le pondría, serían que tuviera puntos de guardado en las decisiones, si bien, tenemos el botón de "Skip" para adelantar la historia, puede llegar a ser muy pesado para algunas personas. Por lo demás, es buen juego, con un arte espectacular e exquisito, lo recomiendo. En espera del segundo episodio, espero que no tarde mucho tiempo en salir. Yo creo que tiene un gran potencial.
The Phenomenal Art Direction and Story fit the 1989 Aesthetic. It's like if Telltale Games followed through on their promise of making a Stranger Things Game. And on top of it all, each choice- no matter how insignificant it may seem- will lead to a completely different playthrough. Something as simple as choosing which prize you want at a counter to trying to save one of three family members. It's important to note that the QTE events only work for the typical Up/Down/Left/Right keys instead of WASD. I learned that the hard way. I look forward to where this story will lead. The ball's in your court, host.
tl;dr worth your time, had a blast. issa great indie horror VN. Dark. Gorgeous art by a single artist, nice OST, 10.99 might seem steep but its not just this episode, there will be five total so I believe it will totally be worth it. to preface, im not a visual novel fangirl, I just saw this in my discovery feed(?) and impulsively got it cuz it had vibes & after tryin it out, daMN. It starts off slow but once you get to the arcade, oohwee, I was absorbed. The art style is gorgeous. Some of the voice acting is kinda OTT but I honestly think its purposeful and suits the tone of the story. A lot of horror (of the era this is set in and in general, tbh) does tend to be so as well as lean into the stereotype thing (rich girl, smart girl, nerd, jock.) I quickly developed a favorite (although it looks like each episode will prolly be diving into each main character of the friend group's perspective after a certain, pivotal part. The writing is entertaining, albeit at times a little, cheesy or maybe, not 100% seeming to suit how the character might feel at the time [spoiler]after the painting scene as eva is escaping the workshop, she is yelling for her father and a line of her internal monologue in between spoken panic and being chased by an abomination is "daddy's usually catching some Zs around this time" which was so incongruous to the situation that it made me giggle [/spoiler] A lot of things though, I could see as a possible stylistic choice as kind of a satire on horror of that time. who knows what the developers intentions are? regardless, i am very glad i bought it. my add brain has me losing interest in game 10 m in sometimes and this I actually finished (& even went back and made different choices for different branching paths even) so that's a big W in my book.
[h2] Игра, которая ощущается как скам [/h2] Чуть меньше года назад я наткнулся на демо-версию визуальной новеллы под названием "Pink Noise", прошел ее, получил позитивные эмоции и добавил игру в уишлист. Теперь вышел ее полноценный эпизод и знаете в чем прикол? Он длинее демо-версии на минут 12. Если не меньше. То есть, демо-версия шла до [spoiler] приключений Евы у себя дома [/spoiler]. Конечно все зависит от скорости вашего чтения, однако факт остается фактом - первый эпизод ОЧЕНЬ короткий. А их будет всего лишь 5. И,скорее всего, в каждом из них [spoiler] будет просто показываться кошмар каждого отдельного героя и как он из него выбирается [/spoiler], но буду рад ошибаться. ЧТО ПОНРАВИЛОСЬ: +визуал (рисовка и анимации прекрасны, картинка сочная и живая) +атмосфера ( есть в стереотипных американских 80-90х что-то увлекательное и притягательное, особенно для нас, жителей стран СНГ, которые с этой эпохой только через медиа в основном и знакомы, местный цветокор способен вызвать чувство уюта, которое вы можете ощутить сидя за костром и слушая страшные истории в хорошей компании) +неплохая работа со звуком (погодные условия и хоррор-моменты хорошо чувствовались во многом благодаря грамотному аудиосопровождению) ЧТО НЕ ПОНРАВИЛОСЬ: -завязка сюжета и его развитие (от него сильно веет фанфиком с Ваттпада и прочих сайтов, и лично мне страшно при прохождении практически не было) - русская озвучка (меня сильно удручил этот момент, так как я ждал отличной работы актеров, а получил работу, в сравнении с которой некоторые фандабберы аниме звучат достойнее. Персонажи в большинстве своем звучат неправдоподобно, интонации странные и часто не к месту, в общем, к режиссеру озвучки и актерам есть серьезные вопросы. В английской версии ситуация чуть получше, там слышно что некоторые актеры хотя-бы стараются отыгрывать достойно, в русской же ощущение что актеров записывали с одного дубля и не объясняли им что к чему в игре происходит) - интерфейс (неудобная кнопка пропуска, текст прогружается как-то неохотно и топорно, с ним в целом взаимодействовать не особо приятно) -текст (много откровенной графомании, подробных и странных описаний какой-то ненужной херни) -мини игры (душная херня, на которой еще и многие достижения завязаны) -поддержка контроллеров (сделана довольно убого, лучше бы вообще ее не вводили, чем ввели вот так) -ранний доступ длинной 3+года (если за это время из этой игры не выйдет нарративная конфетка с достаточным кол-вом контента, можно разработчиков удалять из геймдева имхо) ВЫВОД: хочется верить в радостное будущее и что будущие эпизоды будут кардинально менять вектор развития и сильно отличаться от первого, ну а пока только отрицательный отзыв. Разработчикам трудолюбия и сил побольше, как моральных, так и творческих. От оценки воздержусь (づ ᴗ _ᴗ)づ
很好玩,虽然只有一章现在,cg的表现很有力,cv也很好的体现了人物性格和故事但我希望可以正式版,故事也很有吸引力。,以及它不是一味的点点游戏或者是偶尔出现几个选项进行选择而是里面夹着一些小游戏,让我不是那么枯燥无味,可能是我没有怎么玩类似的游戏但我认为这是一个很好的设计。我希望可以把翻译就是本地化再努力一下,以及cv的语速和翻译字幕出现的时间匹配,我个人字幕已经看完了,人物语音还没有播放完,当然这个也可能是我个人懒惰问题,因为游戏是可以提供字幕出字的调节。但我认为这个一定程度上不利于玩家对故事沉浸的享受。 总而言之,我觉得这个游戏很值得一玩,不管出于画面还是故事
