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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

Great puzzle game with some mystery involved. Truly Recommend.

This is a 9/10, genuinely amazing puzzle game, where the only real downside is you have to find these ASININE gold stars throughout these huge levels to 100% the game. You're not going to find them without hours of effort, so do not feel bad about looking those up specifically. Puzzles are fantastic, story is interesting, and narrated well about the purpose of existence, and moral philosophy. It's narrated brilliantly, and you'll be captivated by all of it. One thing I will say is avoid the DLC if you cannot get it on a deep sale. The puzzles there are extremely hard and time consuming, and it's not worth it unless you care about getting some achievements.
A great puzzle game
Perhaps these things are beautiful because they have no purpose.
Wooow the Soundtrack is amazing! The game is philosophical. Listening the soundtrack it is very relaxing too!
My only gripe with this game is the star's hidden locations. Less than half are just hidden in visually obscured locations. The result is me pressing my face against all of the world's geometry, holding the shift key just in case one of the bushes has a start or switch behind it. I prefer when I know where the star is and have to figure out how to get it- that's more satisfying for me.
Nice graphics, interesting puzzles.
Very challenging and thought-provoking game, would recommend.
