The Broken Ceiling
Short description
The Broken Ceiling is a hand-drawn, 2D, top-down eldritch horror adventure where the player must use a fragile light, which constantly needs to be recharged, to hold back the darkness, explore alien caverns, and uncover why fate has summoned a little rabbit into a pit of incomprehensible beings.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range disagree, so the band is widened to cover both rather than picking a favourite. Multiplied by the $2.99 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.
