Brain Freeze

Short description

Detectives Cheese and Chalk are on the case in this story-driven, puzzle noir. Pick a lock, outline a “corpse,” and shoot at flying hell-rats as the plot thickens and twists more sickeningly than gas-station nacho cheese. I’m not crazy. You’re crazy.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $2.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
