Chess Pills
Short description
You have to guess the right move, but you're running out of time. Use the orange pill to get sharp and focus on the right piece. Or use the turquoise pill to chill and slow the time. But beware, the abuse of substances can cause side effects.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $3.99 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.
