Review count and SteamSpy's owner range disagree, so the band is widened to cover both rather than picking a favourite. Multiplied by $8.43, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $9.99 launch price. That is 16% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.

History
2 data points since Jul 24, 2026. Gaps mean nothing changed — the value carries forward.
The blurred area is the rest of the history. 251 further data points reach back to Mar 1, 2018 — your plan shows the last 90 days of it. How far each series in particular reaches is written on its own chart; not every one of them goes back that far. The shape in the blurred area is decoration, not data: the figures are not in this page at all. Plus unlocks the complete series.
The dashed line marks Jul 28, 2026, when steamlense started measuring. Everything to its left was backfilled from public sources — monthly review counts from Steam, price changes from IsThereAnyDeal, monthly player averages from SteamCharts. Those are monthly figures, so the curve is coarser there — one point a month instead of one a day.
Lowest recorded price: $1.49 on Jun 28, 2025.

Games sharing at least 3 of this title's leading tags, with enough reviews to have gone somewhere. Ranked by how much they overlap, not by how big they are. − missing and + extra mark the tags each one does not share with Game Dev Studio. Studio counts the titles that developer has released — the closest thing to production scale that public data allows. It is not a budget, and nobody publishes those.
