The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
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): 0.86/day in the week to Aug 16 → 0.86/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.

A very fun game that rewards multiple plays and takes some detective work.
Thoroughly enjoyed playing through The Crimson Diamond, would definitely recommend!
I ended up loving this game. Incredibly nostalgic experience for someone who loved the early King's Quest games as a kid. I was surprised by how deep some of the detective work was, how much attention to detail there was for players to pay attention to. LOVED Margot, so the ending was very bittersweet. I found myself touched by the way the story concluded. Difficult at times, but I was able to figure out a lot without looking up the guide (though I did use it and appreciate the layout of it, allowing players to click on the info they want but not get spoiled for anything beyond that). The graphics and animation were so on point. I love this kind of pixel work and some of the animations were so impressive in this style. The end screen of Nancy was beautiful, especially. Thanks for the amazing experience!

I absolutely love this game! This is a love letter of old text adventure games with modern and friendly parser. Story and characters are so intriguing.
Simplesmente, genial! Para quem gosta de jogos de puzzle e investigação desafiadores, The Crimson Diamond te coloca fora da zona de conforto. Aqui, você precisa escrever as ações que pretende fazer: O que gostaria de olhar no ambiente e como interagir com esses objetos. Bem como, escolher sobre o que quer falar com os NPCs. Essa mecânica é absurdamente incrível, forçando o jogador a ser criativo e pensar fora da caixa. Adoro me sentir desafiada e foi exatamente isso que o jogo proporcionou. Ele não tem uma versão em PT-BR, então é excelente para quem quiser treinar inglês. A arte do jogo é original e bonita, amei a escolha das cores. Espero muito que a Julia venha a desenvolver novos jogos em breve!
Zerado faz alguns meses mas, eis a review: Mecânica foda, história bacana, estilo gráfico e de arte lindos. Adorei a Nancy e os outros personagens, Nathan é o GOAT. Todos os segredos eram ridiculamente óbvios, não entendi muito bem o "mistério" que tentaram passar. Acabou que apartir de um certo momento The Crimson Diamond virou um walking simulator onde você tem que ficar testando ações em tudo que é mobília, ambiente e personagem até dar em alguma coisa. Nas cenas de investigação eu quase tive um aneurisma tentando achar os triggers pra "descobrir" o que aconteceu, o que me deixou bem frustrado. Ambientação simplesmente não existe a não ser um som de água ou grilos aqui ou ali, fora isso o puro silêncio. Uma pena, visto que as cutscenes tem uma trilha sonora tão boa, poderiam ter integrado mais no ambiente do game. Apesar de tudo isso ainda gostei pois é um jogo bem relaxante e divertido, só não recomendaria a ninguém jogar ele "rushando".
Jogo bem divertido com um bom mistério, história e investigação, o text parser da raiva as vezes para não nativos em inglês, porém existe o guia no menu à disposição a qualquer hora. Diria que jogos inspirados em poin'n'click dos anos 80/90 tb precisariam de um guia né. Não realizei todos os finais porque o jogo indica que precisa re-jogar cada capítulo do jogo porém tive um final satisfatório mesmo assim!
First of all, I'm cartoonishly bad at remembering the correct name of the main character. If I don't end up calling her Laura (Bow), she becomes Nancy Drew. It's Nancy Maple! Once again, I'm reminded to play more adventure games with how good of a time I had with this one (I really should!). The Crimson Diamond is a rare case of a text parser adventure, meaning you write what you want to do rather than using an interface of actions. While that really went out of style in the mid 90s due to it being much slower, it's always refreshing for me to try these. They feel pleasantly immersive, as you solve puzzles much more as if they were in front on you in real life. The Crimson Diamond was never illogical in what you need to figure out, but I should warn that it's very particular in the phrasing it requires. For once, you can't "use" as an all-powerful verb, you have to specify in what way something is used. In most cases, the game has a lot of synonyms that work, but there are exceptions. At one point, you had to "push plunger". "Press plunger" wouldn't work, and that confusion took me a while. By the way, that's a plunger for dynamite, not toilets. Still, the system felt very rewarding most of the time. Something that really impressed me about this title is that a lot of the dialogues / monologues are affected by what Nancy knows or doesn't know. You're supposed to eavesdrop at a lot of doors and a lot of information you get through this isn't mandatory, missable even. All of that affects your ending and you get a good sense of how thorough you were.
It is what I hoped it would be. I only found out about this game by listening to the Adventurers Guile Podcast. Love the vibes of the game!
A very unique game and I really enjoyed playing it in the old point-and click-adventure game style. The text parser could be less picky and frustrating in my opinion as most of my time was involved in how to frame even basic, simple questions. I hope we won't have to wait forever for a sequel to the Crimson Diamond, but I will be the first player to buy it when it is finally released. Kudos to all involved in this intriguing and immersive game experience! BRAVO!
