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 Aug 23 → 0.29/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 2,400 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.
About

A short psychological horror experience from the creators of Kaamos.
Vartio (Finnish for “Patrol”) drops you into the boots of a medieval guardsman assigned to a solitary night watch. Your duty: patrol the shadowy forests surrounding a remote watchtower and report back to your commander. But something is wrong out there. And it’s getting closer.
Step out into the cold woods under cover of night. As a lone sentry on the empire’s edge, your torch is dim, and your instincts are all you can trust.
Rely on your ears more than your eyes. Every rustle in the brush, every creak of a branch may spell danger. Are those footsteps? Or just the wind?
The deeper into the forest you go, the more uncertain reality becomes. Blood trails. Whispers. Was that a raider—or something worse?

A compact, focused psychological horror experience (~20 minutes).
Immersive 3D pixel art with a dark retro aesthetic.
Rich atmospheric sound design crafted to heighten tension.
Standalone story set in the same unsettling world as Kaamos.
You’re not the only one walking these woods tonight.

Scary Scuffed Games #414 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Bisherige Reviews Archiv: https://rsg.ditomido.de/archive Vorgeschlagen von: Rittersternchen Ich habe es geliebt, wie die Fußschritte einen verfolgt haben. Grafik war Cool, die Stimme tat in den Ohren weh und wirklich spooky war da jetzt nichts. Trotzdem mal was originelles Rating: Dito: 3.2/5 Chat: 2.91/5 Gesamt: 3.06/5
It's really not worth checking out. there's something of a framework there, but the game fails to make use of its runtime. It's 30 minutes long, but so little happens, you'll be bored during most of that time.

Всем фхтагн! А знаете что? Да, я рекомендую. Да, не то чтоб страшно. Да, дел на полчасика. Да, все эти полчаса я топал по лесу и рассуждал о происхождении имени Каамос (думаю, все-таки грек) и ужасном отношении к технике безопасности среди норвежцев (серьезно, забыть каску И рабочий топор в лесу - это непростительно). Но с другой стороны, эти 30 минут я провел в размышлениях и даже немного - саморефлексии. Поэтому да, советую. Далеко не худший представитель инди-хорроров (серьезно), да и концовка меня порадовала (я уже реально ждал норвежцев).
Good game, for the price the atmosphere is great. Dark room needed!
A short horror walking sim set in the same universe as Kaamos. It has good atmosphere but only a few scares and it leaves you wanting for more. Still, it's worth checking out.
good suspension
Visually deceptive and very unnerving sound design. Very much worth the price.
Игра по началу казалась интересной визуалом, атмосферой, звуками, но пройдя её полностью к сожалению не нашёл того, чего ждал, а это - напряженность (после 3 раза уже привыкнул к обстановке, было 4 необычностей, не думаете что это ну очень мало?), более страшный конец (реально, конец полная лажа), больше взаимодействий (2\3 геймплея просто топать, мда, есть куча бесплатных игр в интернете с такой концепцией, но которые зацепили и понравились. к примеру Trust the watchers и TheCryptTerror). Оправданный возврат средств без сожалений и потраченных 30 минут геймплея (5 минут бегал в туалет).
The game concept and artstyle is cool, sound design is at least ok, maybe better than just ok. However, the problem lies in that the game introduces the core that is useless - it's completely linear, or at the very least, feels like so. At some point you just give up on trying to explore anything, because you expect these actions to be useless. Hope one day we would see a proper realization of this game's idea in one form or another. But right now, it feels and plays like a usual itch io bite-sized title. Support the developer tho, it's evident that they could do more - despite having broken core, artstyle and immersion is pretty much on the page, they just need a push or a support to make complete titles I believe.
Must play with stereo sound! Game creates a spooky atmosphere as you slowly patrol a Forest. You don't get bombarded by loud noises or cheap jump scares. Just a simple path to follow with subtle changes and well crafted ambient sounds to invoke curiosity and fear. The game is very short but that's probably for the best due to the limited game play. Cool concept and worth the small price. One thing I would like to see added is an achievement for finishing the game.
