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/day in the week to Jul 21 → 0/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
Spiral is a third-person narrative exploration game that shares a poetic vision of cognitive degeneration. Step into the shoes of Bernard as you help him and support him while braving his unravelling mind and reliving his most treasured moments.
Somewhere in the distance, the sound of a train whistle can be heard. You’re meant to be somewhere, but you’re not quite ready. A staircase lies before you, doors that feel vaguely familiar are scattered along it and leading you further down…what adventures will they take you on?
Meet Bernard Penfield…writer-at-heart, introspective soul, roleplaying-veteran, professional dog-petter, comforts-of-home lover -- and your companion throughout this story! Walk alongside Bernard as you help him navigate the increasing instability of his mind and reconnect him with memories from his past.
Navigate the years as you experience Bernard’s story through 5 different stages of life; from the imagination and wonder of childhood to forging friendships in teenagehood, from the struggles of adulting to growing wiser.
What would our fondest memories be without the people who helped make them? Find peace at the Penfield cabin during cozy family campfires and fishing trips, or explore the enchanting library lovingly taken care of by Bernard’s mom. Spend lazy, sunny days flying kites with Bern’s childhood friend Emily and let your imagination run wild during thrilling Castles & Creatures games with a crew of charming kids who’ll win your heart.
Everything has a beginning, a middle and an end. As you progress further into Bernard’s mind, the cognitive degeneration begins altering his perspective. Affecting everything from how Benard tells his story to how you play the game. See the visuals and hear the music slip through your fingers while you try to grasp what's left of his memories. Be there for him, remember him, and tell him when he won't be able to do it himself.
Fulfill Bernard’s wish by helping him to remember, even when he cannot. Explore memories to their fullest and discover moments hidden in plain sight to strengthen Bernard’s connection to his mind and slow down the degeneration.

As much as I appreciate what this game is trying to do, it just doesn't do it all that well. The style is unique and beautiful, yes, but why is it that 25% of the game is basically D&D? It has nothing to do with the overall theme/purpose of the game and actually very much detracts from it. It's as if someone at one point in their life had wanted to make D&D with a twist but nobody was interested in it and it wasn't fleshed out so they figured "hmm why not throw it in this other game for no reason whatsoever as a last ditch effort to get someone to play it?" Lame, if you're going to do that then either put in a warning about that or provide a way to skip it.
This is an incredible game. Even if it's not my type of game i REALLY like it. You got invested in the story really early in the game and you're hook till the end. The dev and peoples in Folklore team are amazing too. They're close to their community. I recommended this game <3 9/10

Une expérience prometteuse, mais plombée par des problèmes techniques et narratifs Le jeu aurait pu être une belle aventure, mais il est malheureusement miné par des bugs et des incohérences qui brisent l'immersion. Dès les premières heures, plusieurs éléments m'ont sauté aux yeux : Un manque d'attention aux détails visuels et sonores Les personnages manquent cruellement de vie. Parfois, leurs lèvres bougent pendant les dialogues, parfois non, ce qui donne une impression d'inconstance. La qualité du doublage est également très inégale : certaines voix semblent avoir été enregistrées avec un micro de mauvaise qualité, ce qui est difficile à ignorer. Le problème est amplifié par des bugs de dialogues où tous les personnages parlent en même temps, rendant les conversations incompréhensibles. Mention spéciale à la voix de Bernard : sa version adolescente est utilisée à des moments où il est censé être enfant, ce qui casse la crédibilité. Une traduction incomplète La traduction française est bâclée, avec des phrases en anglais qui se glissent un peu partout. Cela casse l'immersion pour les joueurs non anglophones et donne une impression d’un produit fini à la hâte. Des incohérences scénaristiques L’histoire intègre des références mal adaptées à l’époque du jeu. Par exemple, Bernard joue à un jeu clairement inspiré de Donjons et Dragons, pourtant ce dernier a été inventé en 1974. Cela ne colle pas avec le contexte censé représenter sa jeunesse, et ce genre d’anachronisme nuit à la crédibilité de l’univers. Un gameplay frustrant L’aspect technique n’est pas en reste : le jeu souffre de ralentissements constants, ce qui rend l’expérience pénible. Le coup de grâce est venu d’un bug dans une énigme – celle de la pizza dans le jeu de C&C. Impossible de progresser, ce qui m’a contraint à abandonner. Conclusion Malgré quelques bonnes idées, ce jeu est difficile à recommander en l'état. Entre les bugs, les incohérences et les problèmes techniques, il est presque impossible d’apprécier pleinement ce qu’il tente d’offrir.
一般般，没啥特别的，优化也不太行~
I haven't beaten it yet. Still working on it. But so far, the game is emotionally so relatable in the beginning. The soundtrack is perfectly done. The game is buggy but Im pretty sure the developers are working on it. (Fell through the floor, got stuck by ai, fighting scene froze) So Ill continue the game when they do an update on it :) They are an amazing bunch of developers and definitely deserve the love because of the passion they put in this :)
