Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
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 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.

Reviews
this game is visually beautiful, just challenging enough and is filled with bits to make you think. the whole game is one giant puzzle from start to finish. perfect balance of a cozy puzzle game and a complex sci-fi fantasy (that feels all too real these days!).

An excellent puzzle game with a philosophical twist.

good games
loved it. best game I have ever played. gave my brain a good workout for an hour each night after downing tools for the day. Loved the entirety of the maps the story, the puzzles, the messages on the walls, the communication between the pc, the music. Now I must go and find the follow on and immerse myself in that one... I found all the sigils, but I never found all the yellow stars, perhaps 8 of them, I never found all the extra red sigils, so i never really got far up the tower, and I never found all the extra new worlds, but the maps kept me entertained for many hours and now I have entered eternity, I don;t want to go back and start again just to see if I can conquer the tower, so I will be chuffed with what i did achieve, and, with what I learnt from that one, i will use to the best advantage in the second one and do my best to find everything next time round.
This is a super fun puzzle game sprinkled with interesting philosophical questions and partial works of classic literature. Originally I thought it was too short, but 30 hours of solving puzzles ended up being just about right for me. The overarching story is thought provoking and ties everything together nicely. Well worth the buy.
Amazing game, 10/10 would recommand!
a beautiful mind enigma , akin to a supernatural phenomenon like NHS
