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.

It's a nice walking simulator with great atmosphere and storytelling. Best part definitely are the sound effects. However, games like this give you a quick feeling that nothing is really threatining you. It's also based on triggering events, finding a couple keys etc. The jumpscares got me from time to time. If you are into these games, give it a try. I'd give it a neutral rating though because it was a little bit too dark and collectible hunting was impossible for me because of that. If you could simply reach every part at any given time, it would have been possible but if you miss a collectible somewhere, you can't return. The feeling to be trapped in a mining tunnel in complete darkness under ground for sure is a nightmare that makes a strong game. Maybe it would have been perfect if you actually were in danger though.
Empfehlenswert: Ja (persönliche Wertung: 4/10) Errungenschaften: Ja Positiv: - Atmosphäre ist gruselig - Umgebungsgeräusche sind gut - Story ausreichend Negativ: - Zu viele Jumpscares - Viel laufen - Keine Gefahr durch Geister Fazit: The Descent ist eine Horror-Lauf-Simulation... Anders kann man es nicht beschreiben, da man in langsamer Geschwindigkeit von Punkt A nach B und wieder zurück läuft. Wir spielen einen Journalisten, der einer Story über verschwundenen Leuten in einer Mine hinterherforscht. Der Plot ist nichts weltbewegendes, aber reicht völlig aus. Das Spiel lebt von seiner Atmosphäre. Diese ist wirklich gruselig gelungen. Besonders zum Anfang des Spiels mit dem pfeifenden Wind und den knarrenden Dielen... Hat mir so ein bisschen auch etwas Gänsehaut beschert. Nicht so gut gelungen sind die Jumpscares! Zu beginn waren diese noch gut mit der Atmosphäre verbunden. Später kamen sie aber zu oft. Aller 2-3 Minuten ein neuer Jumpscare. Man gewöhnt sich schnell daran. Besonders lahm wird es, wenn man merkt das von diesen Geister / Erscheinungen keine Gefahr ausgeht. Ich habe nur einmal Schaden genommen und das war in einem unter Strom gesetzten Raum voller Wasser. Die Erscheinungen machen aber an sich keinen Schaden... Sie sind einfach nur da. Besonders nervig jedoch war das Laufen. Nicht nur das es sehr langsam war (auch beim rennen)... Man musste einge Ort öfter besuchen, um eine Tür zu öffnen oder einen Gang frei zu bekommen. Das ist im Grunde das einzige was man in dem Spiel macht... Herumlaufen und Geister anschauen. Ach ja... Die Grafik ist in Ordnung. Nur das Auto des Protagonisten war sehr unvollständig. Für wenig Geld kann man sich das gerne antun. So wirklich vom Hocker gehauen hat es mich nicht. Nicht Empfehlenswert!!!!

best jump scares ive seen in one of these games but the ending sucks lol
Nice little horror game if you don`t expect too much, some jump scares are bad and sometimes too often but not all some are nice and different. Sound world very nice and clear with headphones. Graphics nice. The story seemed interesting but when it was fully revealed it was stupid in my opinion. Collectable things etc. very nice addition to game so some extra content than just walking forward. (I bought this discounted). Better than many other indie/short style horror games so nice surprise. Maybe 6/10.
I liked it, fun experience, great concept and story!
Every good game, keeps you immersed the whole time. I wouldn't mind the game be lighted up just a bit, i did struggle with that but over all i would recommend it
This game was surprisingly fun. The eerie atmosphere—such as the sensation of someone or something breathing right behind you or a lurking presence at the edge of your vision—was masterfully executed, even if the ghosts of coal miners did keep popping up. The sound design of the environment was incredibly realistic, featuring creaking noises, constant vibrations, and the sound of falling debris. These elements heightened the tension by instilling a constant fear that the structure might collapse at any moment.
Gráficos: 9/10 História: 10/10 Gameplay: 5/10 Som: 10/10 Obs: tem legendas em português. Quero só adicionar aqui, que o jogo travou algumas vezes e teve as vezes que iniciar o nivel do zero já que não tem pontos de salvamento. Apesar de dizer que é compativel com controle, não consegui jogar com o controle. Quanto a história é boa. E se vc procura um jogo que realmente dê sustos, este é um jogo que vai dar bastantes sustos. Só por isso já valeu o jogo.
THIS GAME IS INSANE 10/10 BUY IT PLAY it in the dark with headset-
