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 27 → 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 2,402 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

Story:
Saturday, October 30, 2010.
A group of ten friends gathers at a secluded mountain resort to spend the night of All Hallows' Eve together. However...
What was originally intended to be a fun little Halloween party quickly turns into an actual night of horrors. When one of the attendees is found dead, fear and uncertainty spread among the group as the friends realize they are trapped with a murderer.
As they try to unveil the identity of the killer, they slowly begin to learn to what atrocities despair can drive a human being... once its trust has been broken.

Reviews
The game is a decent murder mystery that'll scratch that whodunit itch. I've seen a lot of comparisons to Danganronpa, or Ace Attorney, but I don't think Shinrai: Broken Beyond Despair is quite at that level. It feels more like a shoujo manga-esque "Murder, She Wrote" with Raiko Shinpuku taking the center stage as our sardonic protagonist. She reluctantly goes to Rie Miyamoto's Halloween party, in which a series of harmless pranks turns into the sudden death of one of their classmates. Bodies start piling up, and it's up to Raiko to figure out whodunnit before the wrong person goes to jail. The mystery itself is challenging, and requires a keen eye to skim the clues and the text in order to discern who the culprit is. There is one flaw to this game: Kotoba. It's bad enough he's more perverted than Minoru Mineta from My Hero Academia. It's bad enough that he mixes languages like an american twelve year old weeb who's trying to learn japanese from poorly subbed anime. It's both traits that make Kotoba into an intolerable cringelord. In spite of Kotoba, I am going to give this game a recommended because I did have a fun time with it.
