cannot be judged

We do not yet hold enough of this game's announcement history to describe its rhythm. It is currently 85% below its usual price.

Last successful news check: Oct 6, 2026, 2:06 PM UTC. This is when we checked Steam, separate from when the developer last posted.

We hold a thin slice of this game's announcement history, so its normal rhythm can't be established. That is a limit of our record, not evidence about the game.
