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.

The Horror at Highrook is an unusual game with some unique mechanics. There is a wealth of story, character and challenge hidden in the halls. There is a lot of text in the game and no voice acting (I couldn't afford it!) and that might put some people off, I understand. However, If you enjoy evocative writing, unpacking mysteries, and are wiling to experiment with a different type of game, then I think you will enjoy the journey!

Fun game. And I usually don't like card games. Good immersion. Hit the spot since I am in a bit of a cosmic horror phase.
I quite enjoyed the game. It scratched the itch of a cultist simulator style game. It had a nice plot, gave me the a good sense of being locked in a mansion doing an investigation into a scary cult and discovering the existence of the otherworldly. There were a few parts that got a little bit grindy, while you try to discover how everything fits together, but that is largely based on your pattern recognition skill. Otherwise totally worth the money and the time. Only complaint is that it doesn't really have any replay value. Once you know the story, there is very little that would change.

I liked this game a lot. I could see the gameplay feeling a little repetitive, but I found it fun and liked balancing the needs of the characters with the more investigative aspects of the game. Great story, interesting and multifaceted characters: a well-written game!
It plays more like a Visual Novel than Cultist Simulator did, but I think that's a fine change to make for a more narratively focused game like this. This is a great framework for more games of this kind to be built off of. I'm excited to see what the next game in this series looks like.
Good writing. Fun to figure things out; never frustrating. Themes and mechanics reminiscent of Cultist Simulator, but unique and worthy in its own right.
It's a pretty good puzzle card-game with an eldritch-horror theme. The pros - The art : probably one of the strongest part of the game. The hand-drawn character, with those colors and shades, really sell the lovecraftian vibe. Some of the characters have magnificient design. The occasional animation are also pretty well done. - The gameplay : it's a relative simple puzzle game, but it work on what the game want to offer. - the music : it's more of ambiance melodies. It - the length : at roughly 10 hours, I feel the game has the perfect balance with the story and gameplay. A longer game would've been too long. The cons - The price : for some people, the price may be a little high for the length I recommend the game for anyone who like puzzle and the thematic. It's a must have on a reduced price.
Pilfered aesthetics and mechanics (from DD and CS), characters that declares proudly how shoddy the writing will be going forward from minute one, and pointless padding to push the playtime past the point of no refund. Hard pass.
I absolutly love this game!! Took me just under 12 hours to finish, and all the elements are there for an excellent time! The story writing was so perfect, the gameplay mechanics were simple and easy to get into but did end up being challenging in a very fun, very well choreographed way! I have already recommended this game to everyone I know, so now I am recommending it to you too. :D
Really cute
very one more card. Sometimes had to use discussion boards to work out what i was missing for some sidequests, but otherwise a nice lovecraftian trip
