Latest Steam announcements

  • Update for Steam Deck compatibility! - 3 March 2024

    I recently was (finally) able to afford a Steam Deck and I could properly test and update this game so it runs butter smooth on it. Mostly, it was changing some stuff around so the screen's resolution didn't clip off the edges of the game. Now I gotta talk with Valve and get it verified.

  • Small update (v20240111-01) - 12 January 2024

    Very small update to the game based off feedback from a Steam player (thank you!): End screen at Death Inc. now displays the proper end screen if you have all 50 gold stars (sometimes it didn't) Bug relating to the blue ghosts where they would sometimes be treated as angels instead of neutral

  • Update notes for June 15th - 15 June 2022

    I've gotten a few comments on Linux builds that Steam isn't recognizing the achievements. I have switched to a different Steamworks library and I believe they are working as expected now. Please reach out if you run into problems on any OS and I'm happy to help! :)

  • Death Drives A Bus update (v2.3.4) - 22 August 2021

    Kind of a minor update, but I put in a fix for some windowed mode users so the screen doesn't go BANANAS. I also made windowed mode a little bit bigger. I also included my name on the main menu from a really cool and interesting GDC talk I watched. Thanks for playing

  • Death Drives A Bus (v.2.3.4) - 19 June 2021

    Very smol update, a few people suggested it would be nice if it was easier to count tiles between places to plan your moves better. I've changed it so each road tile has one dash in it so it's easier to count :)

  • Fixed the Forty Stars achievement! - 3 October 2020

    Was brought to my attention that the "Forty Stars" achievement wasn't triggering in Steam. Turns out I had a silly typo on the Steam achievement ID where I spelled it "Fourty". Should work now, and the next time you open the game, it should trigger the achievement. If not, just beat any level (even one you've already beaten) and it should refresh the achievements you've made. Thanks for your feedback! :)

  • Death Drives A Bus v2.3 Update - 2 October 2020

    ​I've gotten a bit of feedback from people over the past week. In the process of updating the game, I created a neat automated system to build and deploy the game automatically to Steam and itch as well! So that's definitely a win :) v2.3 updates Resetting the game now clears the spirit card as well When you deliver spirits to the last portal on the map, but spirits still exist on the map, you game over (no more weird soft locks) Windowed mode functions a bit better now and doesn't crop off the game on wide monitors Added more context-sensitive prompts for keyboard/controller support A few really minor tweaks I probably forgot about ​I know I keep saying it, but this will likely be the last update for a while. I've got some more projects in the works that are really exciting. Right now it's using "developer art", which is to say it's not pretty to look at. I'm hoping to fix that up and…

  • Death Drives A Bus update! - 25 September 2020

    Hello friends! A few post-launch updates that I wanted to share with you all! Thanks so much for your support with this game! I'm so pleased with the reception it's gotten over the past week. v2.2 updates: Linux and Mac builds shouldn't crash on load now (see below) Had some requests to include windowed mode so put that option in the main menu. Discovered some issues with the controller prompts where the confirm and cancel buttons were swapped. Added a prompt to back out of the credits and tutorial pages. OK, so related to Linux and Mac builds. Apparently the library I'm using to connect to Steam is having some issues with certain Linux and Mac builds. I'm working on finding a fix for that, but the current workaround is that if it tries to connect and fails, it just falls back to local save data. This unfortunately means that you won't have cloud saves for the moment, but I'll keep an e…

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: Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $0.99
  • Highest observed: $0.99

Death Drives A Bus's USD price history spans from Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 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 $0.99, the highest is $0.99, and the first visible tracked price is $0.99. 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

Death Drives A Bus'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 $0.99, from Oct 5, 2026 through Oct 5, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.99. The latest run records $0.99 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: $0.99
  • Current list price: $0.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Death Drives A Bus at $0.99 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.
