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.

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
"There was a crooked man,
and he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat,
which caught a crooked mouse,
and they all lived together
in a little crooked house. "
This is the first title in the series known as The Strange Man, developed by Uri Games.
Experience the myriad horrors awaiting David as he moves into his new house.
In The Crooked Man, you play as David Hoover, who has recently moved to a new apartment during a rather rough time in his life. In the midst of him struggling to deal with his current situation, David starts to experience some odd occurrences in his apartment, and decides its best to ask a little about the former tenant.
However, he learns little.
Strangely compelled to learn more about this man, David sets off in search of him, hoping to find answers to his questions.
In commemoration of the game's Steam release, achievements, and multi-language localization have been added.

解谜部分实在缺少引导,游玩体验确实没有那么好。但整个游戏的剧情部分让我相当有感触。 无形之物的嘶吼把人逼往死亡的方向,自我厌恶让人否定自己的一部分,最后走向自我毁灭,游戏前面表达的情感相当压抑,后面却是”阻止一颗心破碎“。“The crooked man had a crooked body and only crooked things...”,面对“失败、软弱、后悔...”这些被“crooked”了的东西,人仍然能继续活下去,允许“crooked body”和“crooked things”作为自己的一部分而存在,人不必先变成一个“The uncrooked man”才能继续生活,“crooked body”不会恢复“crooked things”也不会消失“crooked man”住进了“crooked house”,“But I'm sure he was happy living in his crooked house.”
剧情挺好的,就是没有推进剧情的引导要推进剧情有点麻烦,有时候找不到npc或者一些关键的物品

딱 그 시절 쯔꾸르 감성
I decided to revisit this series as a little personal creative writing project for myself and to see if I still liked it as much as I did about 5/6 years ago when i was a labubu... and it still holds up as a good, iconic horror rpg! While I haven't replayed the other sequels yet (in the process of it) I think this still holds up strongly as the first entry in the series. I definitely think I have grown up to see the writing lack a bit of oomph as it did back then, but I still adore this series and hold it dear to my heart for little old me who loved watching lets plays of this game back in the day. i did have unrestricted internet access before anyone asks My only complaint is to truly learn more about the crooked man [spoiler] or, rather, duke in specific [/spoiler] and while they do give enough in game for us to know why and how he occurred, I think I would have liked to see a character that gets a little more fleshed out, especially if it haunts the narrative...well. the actual game more accurately. I did like the second play ending to sort of help with this issue I had. It's also much shorter than I remember (perhaps because I memorize some of the puzzles/fights/struggles from heart somehow all these years later) but to pass the time I don't regret it. I will forever cherish this series for changing the brainwaves of little me and david is a cutie patootie
Tu i tam wspominam czasem o creepy rpg maker gierkach. Badając korzenia gatunku natrafiłem na niejeden zawód. Sam RPG Maker to z resztą silnik mocno problematyczny, jednak sama jego popularność oznacza, że można znaleźć zrobione na nim wybitne gry. Do głowy przychodzi np Omori, Felvidek albo Ib. Do tego panteonu dołączy dziś kolejna gra. The Crooked Man to w tym wszystkim dość intrygujący przypadek. Mógłbym bowiem skupić się na wadach i wymieniać w nieskończoność, że grafiki są w sumie takie sobie, niektóre etapy to drewno, a zagadki potrafią być z czapy. W tych niedoróbkach kryje się jednak pewna poszlaka odnośnie jakości samej gry. Co mam na myśli? Raz zdarzyło się, że straciłem pół godziny rozgrywki przez śmierć bez zapisu. Tak, jest to fatalna rzecz, powinny być częstsze autosavy, wskazuje to jednak na to, że byłem na tyle wciągnięty by zapomnieć o zapisywaniu. Plus mimo tej sytuacji postanowiłem kontynuować rozgrywkę. Coś w tym wszystkim musi więc być. Uważam, że The Crooked Man używa tych dość małych zasobów jakie ma bardzo dobrze. Są emocje, jest napięcie, jest bardzo pozytywne i trafiające do mnie personalnie przesłanie. Zagadki też nie były wcale tak z kosmosu i byłem w stanie większość rozwiązać samodzielnie. Zdaję sobie sprawę, że grafika może wiele osób odrzucić, a jednocześnie dla fanów gatunku jest to klasyk. Zachęcałbym jednak do spróbowania, gra jest bardzo tania i relatywnie krótka. Plus ma w sobie to coś.
大卫我好喜欢你
David é um cara de 26 anos, que tem um monte de coisa ruim acontecendo na vida dele, Mas é necessária uma mudança de perspectiva por meio dos outros, para que ele consiga entender o que há de errado. É necessário que ele percorra caminhos e se depare com pessoas com histórias de vidas parecidas com a dele, para que ele entenda onde as coisas deram errado para ele e, portanto, possa mudar a sua atitude e voltar a apreciar a vida. É um jogo que trata de temas pesados de uma forma sensível, principalmente se você faz o segundo final do jogo, quando você zera ele mais uma vez. É um jogo curto, levei em torno de oito horas e meia, aproximadamente, para fazer 100% do conteúdo. Acho que o 100% dele agrega bastante por causa desse segundo final, para trazer uma perspectiva um pouco mais otimista para o protagonista. As conquistas não são muito demandantes, é um jogo que tem uma história profunda. Ele sofre com mecânica de gameplay, porque The Crooked Man, a versão da Steam, é de 2018, mas a versão original de 2012. E ele sofre com os problemas sendo um produto daquela época. Então você vai ficar travado em alguns momentos, alguns puzzles é necessário que você tenha uma visão do além para conseguir entender o que é que o jogo está esperando de você. Sistema de switch, então você tem que obrigatoriamente estar fazendo coisas que você já entendeu que teria que fazer e talvez pudesse economizar um tempo. Você tem que fazer mesmo assim para o jogo entender e poder seguir adiante. Mas se você analisa esse produto como um produto da sua época, com relação a essas questões de gameplay, você consegue jogar. não é nada que vai deixar você 100% travado. E eu acho que a história profunda, abordada de uma forma tocante, compensa. A trilha sonora não é nada memorável. Ele é bem baratinho, então vale a pena. E se você só jogar sem buscar os 100%, você vai conseguir fazer ele de uma forma ainda mais curtinha. Perseguindo fantasmas do passado e refletindo sobre como as coisas saíram dos trilhos, entenda como mesmo uma vida torta pode valer a pena.
Bom demais e bastante assustador
非常好玩,解密难度不大,可以很顺利的玩下去,剧情感触很深。
