Receiver

Short description

Receiver was created for the 7-day FPS challenge to explore gun handling mechanics, randomized levels, and unordered storytelling. Armed only with a handgun and an audio cassette player, you must uncover the secrets of the Mindkill in a building complex infested with automated turrets and hovering shock drones.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by $4.65, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $4.99 launch price. That is 7% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
