  • The Heart of Blake: The Visual Novel - 20 February 2025

    I’ve been reflecting on some of the feedback about Blake: The Visual Novel and want to share my thoughts. When I created the game, it was never intended to be about D.I.D. I left the narrative open for people to interpret in their own way, believing that giving space for others to find their own meaning is part of what makes storytelling powerful. That said, I understand some people felt the game portrayed D.I.D in a problematic light, and I respect their perspectives. I want to be clear that this was never my intention. Blake reflects my inner battles with mental health - the dark side of my mind that has tried to take over at times, and the part of me that rises up to fight against it. It’s exaggerated, fantastical, and symbolic, but not a depiction of any specific mental health disorder. For a while, I took this feedback to heart, thinking I’d done something wrong. I believed it, and…

  • Developer's note & additional credits - 18 December 2023

    I've added a developer's note to the beginning of the game and additional special thanks credits!

  • Big Announcement - Blake: The Visual Novel Available for Free - 23 March 2023

    Hey everyone! It's Ori here (the solo dev!) I have some important news I want to share with you about my game. As some of you may be aware, Blake: The Visual Novel was originally intended to be an episodic journey, exploring the mysteries behind each character and their origin stories within in the world of rainy New Stone. Blake: The Visual Novel was my debut game, so I didn't publicise it as episodic on release - I didn't want to promise something unless I knew I had a budget for the next game. Sadly, this isn't the case and Blake: The Visual Novel as a stand-alone game has an incomplete story. Because of this paradoxical issue, I have made the decision to make Blake: The Visual Novel available as a free game. This will come into effect within the next few weeks. I'd like to give a massive thanks to everyone who has supported me and my game, by playing, streaming, buying and promoting…

  • Patch 3: Accessibility Update - 3 October 2021

    Big accessibility update: Self-voicing added to all buttons. Self-voicing descriptions added to image scenes. Mini-games made accessible for people who are visually impaired.

  • Blake: The Visual Novel is getting a price adjustment - 29 September 2021

    Hi everyone! After a large amount of deliberation, I've made the decision to increase the price of Blake: The Visual Novel. This is based on feedback I've received on numerous occasions that the game is priced too low. This is my first game and I'm still learning new things every day. The new price for Blake: The Visual Novel will be changing to £5.79 ($7.99) on Monday 4th October, so be sure to take advantage of the absolute bargain introductory price of £1.69 ($1.99) whilst you can! Although the price will be increasing, I plan to do regular sales and updates, and hopefully there will be more exciting announcements on the horizon for Blake!

  • Patch 2: Update notes - Rewording and typos - 6 September 2021

    I've reworded some of the dialogue to make it easier to read, and fixed some typos.

About this game

Developer's Note: Please be aware that the game was originally intended to be episodic. Sadly, I'm not able to continue the story as planned, because of this, the game's narrative has open ends and unresolved mysteries that I'd hoped to reveal later down the line. Although the story is incomplete, I hope you enjoy the first and only episode!

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: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Blake: The Visual Novel'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 Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. 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

Blake: The Visual Novel'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 Free, 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 Free. The latest run records Free 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: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Blake: The Visual Novel at Free 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.
