Latest Steam announcements

  • Just over one year later... - 25 November 2021

    Hello, It's been 1 year since you guys have heard from me. I apologize for that but a lot of stuff has happened in my personal life. aside from that The River is undergoing a complete revamp of its game play and mechanics on how the game is played and the background stuff no one sees. to make a better play experience all around for you guys. I hope to have a teaser video out for you on or before the 1st of January, 2022. Thank You, Josh.

  • Silent Progression - 12 December 2020

    Well Hello, It's been a while since you guys have heard directly from me. Josh the owner and creator of The River, I would just like to say thank you to all of you who have taken the time to either play the game or at least look at the games page. I have been working on another update and this update will bring bug fixes more than it will new content but I will attempt to push a little of that in there too for you guys!. during the week I only have about 2 hours of free time to work on the game before I have to put my little one to bed and then so myself. On the weekends I try to work late into the night to get progress made. The next update may take a month or so (holidays and all that) but I promise you that when this update drops you are going to want to play it and see what it has to offer this time!. Thank You, Josh.

  • The game is not dead or abandoned - 4 April 2020

    as the summary said (if you read it) so ill post here as well... "So basically I'm a one man team at this point and trying to get the game better for a future update with a day job working 9 hour days 5 days a week" I am still working on the game slowly with the free time I do get. Please do not think the game is dead or abandoned cause it simply is not. For those of you who have played it so far yes i know a lot is most likely broken and does not work correctly I am working on that (obviously) but please have patience with me and most likely the game as you know it now will not be the same when I release the 1.0 update. I do not have a time frame for release but if i did i would say around end of summer this year 2020. Stay safe have fun and avoid Covid-19 at all costs. Thank You, Developer Josh

About this game

The River is a Psychological horror game based on P.T.S.D. You are a soldier who just came back from war and while you where sleeping one night you had a flashback and murdered your family. Now, you are stuck in limbo and you must relive every thing and try to collect all of the memories you can find. The more memories you find the better chance you have to correct what you have done. If you do not find them all, then you simply can not live with yourself and end your own life. You must find them all to awaken from the dream.

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $9.99
  • Highest observed: $9.99

The River's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $9.99, the highest is $9.99, and the first visible tracked price is $9.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

The River's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99. The latest run records $9.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $9.99
  • Current list price: $9.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The River at $9.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
