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): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 25 → 0.14/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 2,400 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.

SUMMARY: ´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´ The Gardens Between is a short, visually beautiful puzzle game that focuses on story and emotion rather than challenge. I liked it and I recommend it, especially for younger players or those new to puzzle games. It is calm, easy to play, and leaves you with a warm feeling about the importance of friendship and making good memories. PROS: ´´´´´´´´´´´´ Visuals: The art style is what carries the game. It is beautiful, polished, and almost perfect. Time mechanics: The gameplay is simple but smart. Toggling time back and forth feels natural and creative. Some mechanics, like stopping time while actions still flow based on your position, are genuinely clever. Emotional tone: The game leaves you with good emotions and a reminder to cherish friendships and shared memories. Level design: Each level is well designed and perfectly paced. Progression feels smooth and satisfying. CONS: ´´´´´´´´´´´´ Too easy: The puzzles are very easy, sometimes too easy, even for a casual puzzle game. Very short: The game can be finished in a few hours, and there are no harder or extra levels after completion. The devs should add some more challanging content we could do after completion. Value Because of its length and simplicity, it is best bought on sale.

Fun puzzles, but the game is kinda short.
If you think, that rewinding, pushing forward and action button are insufficent for having fun, try this. Also, I love "Places only we know".
A really inventive puzzle game - the mechanics are great, the music is lovely, and the story is really sweet.
Это чудесная, теплая и ностальгическая история без слов, оставляющая ощущение светлой грусти. Аж олдскулы свело. Оригинальная концепция, интересная механика, загадки нетривиальны, визуальный стиль и музыкальное оформление очень приятные. Медитативный геймплей. Чем-то отдалённо напоминает Monument Island. Получил удовольствие.

短，但是很精致，以为是慈善包里的所以觉得很值
Interesting take on puzzles, but found movement/gameplay kinda annoying at times. A good step for the developers but I wouldn't play a longer version.
Great fun puzzle game with time and movement mechanics!
Mignon petit jeu de logique avec mécanique de retour ou d'avancé dans le temps, pas de dialogues juste des sons d'ambiance vraiment agréable à écouter (bruit de pluie, d'orage...), pas du tout long ni compliqué à faire, je le recommande. Cependant, les éclairs sont assez aveuglants ce qui m'a valu un mal de crâne, je conseille de fermer les yeux à ces moment-là si vous êtes sensible à la lumière.
