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.

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.

Literally can't play the game. The only way to advance past the first five minutes is to climb a ladder. The same ladder that is literally in the ceiling with no way to access it. Due to annoyance I literally watched several walk throughs and yes. I read every note and did everything they did. But their ladders were already down and ready to climb. Waste of money.
Это было не плохо. Хоррорный симулятор ходьбы. Есть скримеры, по началу работают, но из-за своей продолжительности, во второй половине игры привыкаешь к ним, и дальше уже не пугают совсем. Есть сюжет, причем весьма не плохой для такого рода игры. В общем и целом, довольно не плохой хоррор, звезд с неба не хватает, но на вечер пойдет.

one of the worst games i've ever played.
玩了两遍,一到坐电梯就闪退,而且没有存档!!希望能修复一下,游戏挺不错了,想玩后面的剧情。
Puuuhh bin jetzt durch. Das ist wirklich Müll. Gute aber auch grauenhafte Jumps Scare und teilweise schlechte Horror Standards wie "Fuse" einsetzten und Dunkelheit - Dev: Dark is not scary.... Technisch leider doch sehr schlecht geraten - lange Ladezeit, wirklich miese Grafik an manchen Stellen - ich sage nur Kohle in den Waggons. Sehr viele Bugs und Hakler. Aber die Atmosphäre ist oft solider Horror. Leider gibt es ein paar komplett deplatzierte Elemente und manche Elemente sind einfach furchbar - wie z.B. die ständigen Einstürze. Leider ist auch die Taschenlampe und die Night Vision wirklich stark misslungen. Es gibt in der Realität, keine derart schlechte Taschenlampe!! Devs, kauft euch eine damit ihr eine Ahnung habt, wie sowas leuchtet. Ich habe eine WWII Taschenlampe zuhause, nicht einmal die strahlt so schlecht. Die Batterie in der Night Vision ist komplett daneben gegangen. Die läuft aus, wie Sand durch die Finger, auch wenn man sie nicht benutzt und vor allem auch, wenn man im Pause Screen ist. Das ist wirklich schlechtes Design. Daumen runter speziell für den ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, dass es keine Savegames gibt und man immer nur am Kapitelanfang starten kann! Und aber auch für das wirklich langatmige Gameplay. Ich liebe Walking Horror Sims aber das ist selbst mir zu langweilig. 3 - 4 mal den Gang auf und ablaufen, bis das Game all seine Horror Elemente abgespielt hat - das ist wirklich Horror. Dabei hat es viel Potential - den es ist scary, vor allem die Szenen mit den Mineren, sind schon gut gemacht. Schade das miese Gameplay und der Savegame Müll machen das Game komplett kaputt.
游戏氛围不错,看剧情纸条触发游戏!
Страшные игры с Кристинкой. Багованная мура в полной темноте. Отвратительные игры Стима.
真っ暗な鉱山を探索していくウォーキングシミュ。 [良い所] ・打ち捨てられた鉱山の雰囲気が良い。 [悪い所] ・何処に進めばいいか分かりにくい。 鍵やアイテム(見辛い)が必要な場合だけならいいのだが、 イベントを起こすと遠くのドアが開くパターンが混在しており、頻繁に迷う。 崩落が多発する鉱山の怖さを出そうとしたのかもしれない。 ・幽霊的なものが出る。 ジャンプスケア多めで、驚かせ方が少しワンパターン。 ・基本的にストーリーはメモを読む必要があり、こちらは日本語化されていない。 [全体的に] 基本的に展開は平坦で、迷子になりやすいのもあって飽きやすい。 微妙なラインだが、決して遊べないゲームではない。 炭鉱の雰囲気に興味を持った方にはお勧めできる。
completely broken. I boot up the game, start it, suddenly I'm locked out of the controls and stuck staring at the diary. can't return to menu. can't exit, nothing. both the keyboard, mouse and controller fail to work. can't recommend something too messed up to function.
