Prices
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): 3.71/day in the week to Aug 26 → 7.43/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 6.57/day in the week to Jul 25 → 5.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 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.

Прикольная игрулька, ждал, когда выйдет в стиме, денег, как такого, своих не стоит, но особо жалко 200 рублей не было. Было б здорово, если бы игра как-то сюжетно чуть дальше развилась, но имеем, что имеем. А так на ачивочки пробежать её можно, загасить героя, чтоб он больше не возвращался в замок босса
Really interesting concept, wish I could play more. Easy game to complete as an achievement hunter. 9/10

I got drawn in by the concept but stayed for the interesting dialogue. The gameplay is quite limited in it's scope but that's kind of the point. You play a soulslike boss, you are always going to be limited in what you can do and how you move but the dialogue if each fight makes me more and more engrossed with the Queen's character. We play as her but she is not a blank slate, she has a very distinct personality that can swing either which way depending on what dialogue you choose. Overall a very fun game and one I would recommend grabbing if you want a to be engaged for an hour or two.
Прикольная задумка, несколько концовок, нужно попотеть, чтобы получить самую сложнуб
EAT MY POO, PERMANENCE OF DEFEAT, I AM SUPERIOR!!!!
[h1] Interesting Little Game [/h1] The Dark Queen of Mortholme is a really interesting and unique idea for a game where you play as a boss, forced to defend yourself over and over and over again against the hero. It's a simple idea and its executed fairly well for the most part I think. At first I thought the game would be a true fight each time, but you quickly realize the game is very scripted. The hero dodges when the game wants and there's nothing you can do about it, and the hero dies when the game wants them to die. This got kind of annoying until I viewed the game as more of an interactive visual novel instead of a more open ended experience which I think is fine. It definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea as seen by the negative reviews, which is why I think it's important for the player to go into it with the right expectations. There's some good dialogue and an interesting dynamic that forms between the two characters, and I feel like I've had myself having some of these exact same conversations with myself in my own gaming experiences. If you're looking for a unique gaming experience and are a fan of souls games or other challenging games, I think you'll enjoy it, just make sure you go into it with the right mindset.

Such a sweet yet dark, atmospheric, short and satisfying experience. It just takes about half an hour to finish but it was definitely worth it.
Short and fun, I liked it
