The Ruins

Short description

You've found yourself alone in the darkness lost and afraid. There are boobie traps and human remains all around you, echoing through the ruins you hear scuttling and grunts from a creature you've never heard before. The only way out is to travel deeper into the maze and hope it doesn't hear you

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $0.99 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.
