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 Jul 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 2,402 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.

What an exquisite happy game. So happy I got around to playing this - the music and vibes are just so good, the ending made me tear up a bit. Just a solidly feel-good game. [spoiler] Crab [/spoiler] genuinely made me laugh which I usually don't get in games as well. If you ignore the flying around collecting fish, it's a pretty short and sweet story but man I spent what felt like 3-5 hours just flying through the sky collecting clouds. So unbelievably zen - really can't emphasize how relaxing this game (and especially the music) were. Would highly, highly recommend!
It's a beautiful game! Both whimsical and quite emotional and thought-provoking. The main photography/cloud collecting loop is simple but very well executed. I find the moments flying around collecting clouds very beautiful and peaceful. And the story is woven very seamlessly throughout, the world and characters feel very alive and the story naturally progresses as you go about your days. I haven't finished yet, but am looking forward to spending more time with this game and would definitely recommend it!

the wide open sky is running out of catfish is a mouthful to say but i can one hundred percent recommend this game for you to play. my only gripe with it was i had to turn the pixelation filter off in the menu. there is literally nothing else about it i can boo. the main gameplay loop, you combine clouds to spawn fish and take pictures of them while doing that, there are many characters for you to complete their quests the story, characters, and dialogue are cute and thoughtful, this game is a hidden gem it really resonated with me, and i highly recommend checking it out, i can attest
Phenomenal game about loss and love. The game feels like an absolute labor of love, through and through.
I wish I had a catfish to lay upon in real life. It's beautiful up there :*)
Basically ace combat but with more fish and better music. The credits made me cry, that's a first. -- Gracious blue heaven lend unto me a sliver of wide open sky.
Absolutely lovely game and wonderful experience!! It's got WHIMSY, it's got FISH, it's got PHOTOGRAPHY, and even more than that, it has great STORY? Do yourself a favor in making your day a little brighter and play this.
This game manages to be cozy, funny, satisfying, emotional, and so so endearing all at once. Let these devs take you on their wild journey, its worth it even just for the giant awesome catfish who you live on. This game connected with me very quick, I promise you wont be disappointed with your time.
this game has so much more than i expected. every character i meet whether it's a friend from college or a giant floating sea animal is a joy to interact with. i can't wait to take more pictures of fish
such a good game! the photography/cloud loop is chill and satisfying and the writing is endearing and really funny. definitely one to check out
