Recompile
Short description
This atmospheric, Metroidvania hacking adventure lets you take control of a semi-sapient program struggling against deletion. In the sprawling 3D world of a Mainframe, Recompile features intense combat, tight 3D platforming, super-powered abilities and an environmental logic-based hacking mechanic.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by $16.79, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $19.99 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 28, 2026. Gaps mean nothing changed — the value carries forward.
The blurred area is the rest of the history. 154 further data points reach back to Mar 20, 2020 — 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.
