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): 1.29/day in the week to Aug 23 → 1.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Reviews
Without a Dawn is really short, but if you like any of Jesse Makkonen's other games, you'll probably get some enjoyment out of this too. The ASCII art is the centrepiece of this game and it's very pretty to look at. The story was intriguing, but it didn't have a lasting impact like Distraint 1 and 2. There's no gameplay like any of the other games by the same creator, so you're essentially just clicking through dialogue. 6/10.
Impeccable atmosphere, visuals and sound come together perfectly in this little gem of a game! Especially appreciate the control you have over the aesthetic experience.

THRILLER... I appreciate the artist!
一部优秀的作品
挺短的,美术风格不错
I recommend this "experience," as it's not truly a game by most common definitions. It's more of a guided experience/story that provides some real insight into an alternative (hopefully) mental state. Think of yourself less as the protagonist in the story and more of a passenger along for the ride inside the character's perspective. As others have commented, art style and atmosphere really work and create the perfect sense of creep/dread. Overall, very nicely done.
伪 ASCII 像素心理恐怖视觉小说,冷色调静谧压抑氛围,探讨孤独、幻觉与自我和解。没有追逐战、突发惊吓,依靠环境音效、碎片化文本营造心理压迫,慢节奏沉浸式体验。 多配色方案自由切换,画面边框随剧情畸变,视听表达形式独特。 文本文笔细腻,偏向哲学向叙事,留白极多,存在多重解读空间。 流程很短,一周目 3 小时内即可通关。 画风有点像石头记(不是红楼梦),而且没有石头记刷刷刷的流程,好评。
A small piece of art! Liked it.
ощущается всё как сплошная графомания, часто варианты ответов не имеют никакой разницы и дают максимум полторы новой строчки текста
