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): 0.38/day in the week to Aug 3 → 0.71/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.

I finally get around to finish this after initially buying a physical key from a game expo (IGX) and leaving it on my library for awhile It's a short pretty beautiful yet bittersweet story accompanied with a lovely art style. I'm not sure if this is a intentional, but i love how this is a hidden object / point & click game, a game about looking back in the past, searching for answers and reasoning until finally, letting go. Not to move on fully, but to keep the days in remembrance and moving forward
8/10: Such a beautiful short game with some really fun puzzles. I finished it with that quiet ache that doesn’t go right away... it’s a soft, bittersweet story about deciding whether you’re ready to move forward or keep holding onto the memories that once meant everything. PS. best picked up during a sale

[h3] 互動解謎類遊戲 [/h3] 解謎難度不高，畫風唯美! 總共6章(序章+1~5章) [h3] 玩後心得 [/h3] 很適合打發時間玩一下，但要完整玩完一個章節才會存檔。 如果有蒐集類成就沒完成可以回到主菜單到指定章節獲取，數量會記錄的。 結局時，主角重拾音樂，曲調逐漸歡快起來，貓頭鷹消失，獨自望向夕陽，一想起遊戲過程的美好，就讓人有股淡淡的哀傷。
Helppp pls im in pain :( (overall, beautiful game that shows what grief or losing somone you care about feels like; teared up a couple times) 10/10 and the music is great >_<
playing this while in heartbroken makes me even more heartbreak. such a warm and melancholy story. it's a portray about her grief and loss with someone she love. the memories will always alive even without them. has to slowly accepting and moving forward since life should go on with sincerely accept the fate that people will always leave no matter how much you love them.
beautiful and heartfelt, i did indeed cry
the music, the art style, the puzzles- none of those overshadowed the theme and it was a refreshing sort of puzzle game. everything is just so beautiful and melancholic
A bittersweet and lovely game reliving the Eda's memories of her relationship and recent lost love. Relaxing to play. Puzzles are not difficult; they have just the right amount of thought to not be stressful. Nice graphics and music.

Interesting short game. Can be completed in a few hours.
