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 Aug 25 → 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.

The Archetype (2015, разработчик — Rafael Barreto, издатель — SA Industry) — психологический хоррор с элементами приключения. Суть: сыграть за 9‑летнего Арчти Толомеи, разобраться в семейной трагедии и справиться с психологическими расстройствами (тревога, шизофрения и др.). Ключевые особенности: 4 главы (Детство, Юность, Брак, Старость); влияние окружения и диалогов на показатели: невроз, психоз, риск суицида/убийства; глубокий сюжет с мрачной атмосферой; одиночный режим; коллекционные карточки Steam; платформа: PC; язык: английский. Минусы: смешанные отзывы (58 % положительных); ограниченная графика; непростая подача сюжета; некоторые механики могут показаться абстрактными. Итог: подойдёт любителям психологических хорроров и атмосферных историй с тяжёлой тематикой. Лучше брать по скидке.

The Archetype is an episodic indie horror game that puts players in the shoes of the protagonist, Archty Tolomei. The game's primary focus is on managing Archty's mental health, requiring players to stabilize him when he encounters unsettling stimuli. Displayed on the HUD are eight emotional traits that players must monitor and maintain. While The Archetype offers a uniquely compelling gameplay experience and rich storyline, it is not without its flaws. The game can be somewhat uneven at times, with occasional mild glitches that may affect the overall gameplay. However, the developer is quick to address any reported issues. Despite the occasional annoyance and frustration, I would recommend The Archetype to anyone seeking a good horror game with a captivating narrative. The game's superb, emotionally responsive gameplay and storytelling set it apart from many other titles in the genre, making it a worthwhile experience for players willing to overlook its minor technical hiccups.
The Archetype é uma aventura de terror psicológico. Ele aborda temas intensos, colocando o jogador no papel de Archty, um garoto de 9 anos que vive situações traumáticas em sua infância. O jogo explora emoções como medo, desespero, ansiedade e culpa enquanto o jogador lida com transtornos psicológicos, como ansiedade e esquizofrenia, em um contexto de abuso e mistério familiar. A narrativa é dividida em quatro capítulos (Infância, Adolescência, Casamento e Velhice), sendo que o primeiro foi disponibilizado no lançamento, com os demais prometidos posteriormente. As escolhas do jogador impactam os níveis de "neurose" e "psicose" de Archty, influenciando os desfechos. Um jogo simples, mas profundo e interessante.
[h1] An Atrocious Mess [/h1] [b] Not a good game. Not a good game at all. Decent sound design is the only good thing in this game. Everything else is just bad. From clunky controls (no customization) to murky graphics (with ulgy green filters the game looks even worse) to boring , confusing and uninspired story and level design. I guess i was expecting too much from this Unity asset flipper. After barely completing Chapter 1 , which gave me a nice headache , i thought , maybe next chapters will be more engaging and rewarding. But NO. In the middle of Chapter 2 this "game" hit me with a nice slew of flashing/strobe effects and a shaking screen which was so nice for my eyes (I'm not and epileptic but it was bad nonetheless and they didn't put an epilepsy warning in this game , so BEWARE). Maybe there is a decent game somewhere deep within but i didn't have no time nor passion to search for it. Although i spent some additional time to collect 3 trading cards and that was my last action here. There are better (and cheaper) horror games. There are better psychological horror games. Don't buy this game even with a huge discount. Avoid this game like the plague ! [/b]
