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 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 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.

3/10 The game is obviously the developers having fun with the trolley problem, and wants to test the player's morality. There's nothing wrong with that. However, the end result of this game is just extremely boring, tedious, and mind numbing. I picked it up on sale for the steam summer sale for $5. Cheap game. It's not worth the $10, and I wouldn't quite say worth the $5. There are 40 levels total. 20 of them are legitimate trolley problem conundrums on whether you pull the lever or not. The other 20 are trolley minigames (of which you can only unlock if you pull the lever in the previous conundrum level). The minigames are really where this game loses enjoyment. I understand they are parodies, meant to be funny and reference other media (crazy taxi, visual novels, tomogachi), and they are relatively short games. It's just that somehow, some way, they make them feel like an hour long chore to do. A little tangent, the "quick maths" level is just wrong. 20÷5x(10-2) was the question, and the correct answer was not listed. We're all taught PEMDAS, but I used that and the correct answer just wasn't up there, so I had to replay the level several times to guess the correct one. Ultimately, the game is trying too hard to be a "Hey youtuber/streamer, play my funny gag game so I can have a spike of popularity for a moment!" type game. "Flavor of the week" if you will. The most fun thing in the game was Mightier Than The Sword, which was a DOOM parody level. The last kicker, to add insult to injury, is that you CANNOT 100% this game without BUYING DLC. The DLC, at full price, is $10 (I think). So to 100% this game, you have to toss them even more money than you spent for 1 level. Otherwise, you're going to stare at 39/40 levels complete. I think 3/10 is too generous. I can't recommend this game to anyone who likes the trolley problem. However, a couple of my friends did google the "Absurd Trolley Problem" and had much more fun chatting and laughing about the situations presented there. Please, don't buy this.

This is a fine enough game, some parts were pretty funny but all the minigames are hit or miss with some really, really missing (I am looking at you "A Nice Ride"). Just play Absurd Trolley Problems on neal.fun, it might not have minigames but it is honestly better (and free). In a world where there are too many good games to play them all, don't waste your time on this mediocre one. Also for 100%ers: the achivments here are generally fun or at least inoffensive, with the exception of two that require you to replay the game (you just lost the game) twice to get them, adding about 70~ minutes of pretty boring playtime.
This is a rough up thumb. Definitely has some pacing issues with some of the "mini" games. The novelty of being Sisyphus or using a Tamagochi wears off real quick yet the game asks you to keep going for like 5 minutes. "Teehee, it's like Trolley Sim!" you may giggle at the second-to-last gag, only to then [i[play[/i] Trolley Sim for like 10 minutes and understand why you bought this game and b[]not[/b] Trolley Simulator 2026. Still, if you can push past the bits of tedium, it's not entirely a terrible attempt at humor centered around the Trolley Problem. It's one of those Marvel-esque things that require entirely too many references to pop culture such that if you strip it of that there is almost nothing here. [i]Some[/i] may say this is creative bankruptcy; I'll be a little more generous and just allude to it. My biggest praise is the technical aspect of having been able to accommodate smoothly a set of genres. Perhaps it's less impressive today with engines being capable of this out of the box, but I'd still like to think it is a feat worth telling of. May Dan learn and make a game worthy of the virality he strove for here.
Just boring
Очень философская игра не для тупых Заставляет задуматься Если у вас IQ меньше 113, то даже не пробуйте - ничего не поймёте
It lets you do the thing. The thing from the manga.
Great meta game with tons of references to other games and genres. A lot more than what meets the eye and super hilarious.
I was having fun right up until the JRPG section.. That section sapped all fun, enjoyment, and life out of me. I can't recommend this game because then others will suffer that section. It's fun for the first like.. 20 minutes until you get to that section though.
