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 3 → 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.

It's a great story that really puts a lot of thought into the idea of isolation in a slow and steady pace. Whereas the topic of isolation is a lot more complicated, I think the different routes we choose gives a very easily implemented into one's life and the ways we interact with people and shows how important a second chance is, it's just not very noticeable to people, especially the loneliness of isolation. Each ending was extremely emotional, despite the fact I got Celadon's ending first, that didn't deter or undermine Scarlet's, Ash's, or Death's ending. Despite the general vibe of the game being calm, it will effectively utilize any and all emotions it can through its artwork and storytelling. Many of the characters have their own developed personalities coming into each playthrough, but by developing a bond, it changes into one that Ash and the character can relate with. They definitely have flaws that're noticeable quickly, but I didn't find them annoying, and quite reasonable with the circumstances they've been through. The artwork is amazing with its style around a detailed sketching encapsulating some of the more emotional events you will encounter that develops the bonds with each character. The OST is great, I wish I could buy a soundtrack for steam as it's very calming and slow for the environment it takes place in. I would recommend this if you're looking for a game that has a high value towards storytelling as a lot of the multiple dialogue options I've assumed didn't affect the dialogue had a small impact towards how we interacted with each other. 10/10 (final edit) one thing I was disappointed about though was the lack of art for rouge.

[h1]Return to Ash или психический диспансер с того света[/h1] игра-классическая визуальная новелла с хорошим саундтреком и визуальном стилем. Здесь даже есть своя мини игра которую хрен пройдешь без гайдов. но больше хочется подметить..... [h3]Сюжет[/h3] Играем мы за девочку Эшли которая умерла но не на совсем. Она попадает в местную больницу где умершие от социальных проблем души проходят через испытания чтобы вернуться на землю. Главная цель здесь это уйти и возродиться либо одной, либо с другими из 4 персонажей попавших сюда. У каждого здесь есть своя история проблемы из жизни их арка роста где они меняются в лучшую сторону [h1]Итог[/h1] Все таки хорошо что новые игры больше затрагивают и личностные проблемы людей. Игра полностью проходится за 3 часа но эти 3 часа не дадут вам заскучать это я вам могу точно сказать
Death
Mi mayor descubrimiento de lo que llevo de este año , y eso se ha debido tambien a que no sabía absolutamente nada y la verdad su estilo artístico es hermoso y que tiene su propia esencia, la música simplemente envolvente y la historia es bonita y que te marca dejandote pensando y con un vacío. y Si al probarlo veis que no os gusta o algo parecido no preocuparse puede ser que simplemente no sea el tipo de juego o que tenéis que esperar un poco porque no se si os ha pasado alguna vez que probais un juego por primera vez no os gusta luego pasado un tiempo decidis darle una oportunidad y te gusta.
Egy nagyon érzelmes vizuális novella. Hazudnék ha azt mondanám nem sírtam rajta egyszer, kétszer. Mindenkinek ajánlom. Azt a 6 eurót amit kérnek érte teljesen megéri.
Not Ash getting aggressively gendered on their id o7
剧透警告 被所有人讨厌、遗忘、无视:社会性死亡。 社会性死亡,进入彼岸。 对人世绝望,烧为灰烬。 决心孤立,走向虚无,被吞没。 依然抱有希望,通过电梯重返人世。
I can imagine Death's utter disbelief growing as Ashleigh flips over yet another card...
Nice and short story game, enjoyed my time here
A beautiful story about isolation and connection, that hit very close to home.
