Desolate Roads

Short description

Desolate Roads is a first-person psychological horror vignette. You’ve run out of gas in the middle of nowhere, and all you can see are empty roads, a dark forest, and the endless thick and strangling fog.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $4.99 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.
