  • After The Repairing Mantis, The Hungry Fly releases! - 23 October 2024

    After 3 years of sweaty game development by Jonathan and I, our second game The Hungry Fly finally launched! Polished surreal experience freshly out of the oven You are the fly. Play as the dirty, filthy, corpse-eating fly on a mission to devour a monster living in a bath in a house far away. Meet depressing caterpillars along with other surreal characters. Restart the grotesque tale and choose a different path through the story, eating your way to three different endings. Taste it here : Steam page The best way to support the game is to leave a review on Steam. It helps more than you think! We will be updating the game actively, so don’t hesitate to send us any feedback and bugs you encounter. You can reach us on Discord. We hope you’ll find the game meaningful in some way! - François and Jonathan

  • Get ready, The Hungry Fly is set to release on October 23! - 11 October 2024

    Hey bug lovers! We've cooked something new. We just announced the release date for our next game The Hungry Fly, which happens in the same universe as The Repairing Mantis. The surreal experience is completed You are the fly. Play as the dirty, filthy, corpse-eating fly on a mission to devour a monster living in a bath in a house far away. Meet depressing caterpillars along with other surreal characters. Restart the grotesque tale and choose a different path through the story, eating your way to three different endings. Make noise around you to make those wishlists rain before the release. Share the Steam page! It truly helps the Steam algorithm to give the game crucial visibility. And if you like our stuff, you can come hang out with us on our Discord. We like weird games and talking about bug observation. See you at the launch! - François and Jonathan

  • 3 years anniversary - 16 September 2024

    Hey everyone! It's already been almost 3 years. Time flies! We made the game thinking it could grow on you over time. I didn't expect it to grow on me. When we first released it, we thought a lot about what we could have done better. Now, when I think about The Repairing Mantis, I think more about the fact it presents something unique and I’ve come to really like it, even if it's not perfect. I hope the game grows on you too! I can't wait to release our next game The Hungry Fly which takes place in the same universe. See you soon!

  • Update 1.07 - 13 January 2023

    Here's a small update for The Repairing Mantis. Someone wrote to us with a detailed report of a game-breaking bug we've never seen before! It's always nice when people send those bug reports. It helps us a lot. So we fixed that, and while working on the menus for The Hungry Fly we found and fixed a bug that was present in both games. Bug fixes: -Giving a moth to the squirrel while he was jumping removed the dialogue to continue the story -Clicking on a button in the menu while it was transitioning to another window, restarted the animation, creating an infinite loop if you continued spamming it. (It was kind of fun, to be honest, but still a bug. 😉 )

  • One year anniversary! - 16 September 2022

    Hey everyone! It's been a year since The Repairing Mantis has come out. We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has played the game! It is one of the best feelings in the world to read your comments, your reviews and your thoughts about the game. Seeing you all think about the meaning of the game, seeing how it made you feel and sharing that with the world is very special and we couldn't ask for better reception of the game. All of this is helping us create our new game The Hungry Fly. So happy birthday to The Repairing Mantis and enjoy the sale for those who still haven't got the game! Love y'all!!!

  • New game announced from the creator of The Repairing Mantis - 1 September 2022

    Hey! We have been reading all of your reviews and comments. We feel very lucky you were so touched by your experience. Thanks! We have learned a lot from you so the next game can be better! We’ve just announced our next game, which takes place in a similar universe to The Repairing Mantis. Without spoiling too much, let’s say you might find some references! The Hungry Fly is a narrative horror fairy tale where you embody a fly, discover a grotesque and surreal rich story, make impactful decisions, and eat rotten corpses. Get on a disturbing journey to eat a mysterious creature living in a bath, and realize that maybe in your life, you eat rotten corpses too. You can find more information about the game and wishlist it here on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2107180/The_Hungry_Fly/ Thanks again for ever caring about our games!

Short description

The Repairing Mantis is a narrative horror game that lets you experience the disturbing, violent (yet absurdly poetic) story of a mantis on a mission to repair a bridge made of flying squirrel flesh.

About this game

You experience the surreal nightmare of an insect. A squirrel tries to fly. An alligator is going through an existential crisis. A bridge made of flesh is broken. This bridge eats squirrel’s parts. This surreal universe can turn out disturbingly relatable. It’s a dark existential experience that can be interpreted in many ways. As a praying mantis, you explore an eerie world, meet animals, collect dreams, and make impactful decisions. Features : - Playtime of about 1h - Exploration game with casual mechanics - Interactive story with 2 different endings - Disturbing, violent, and poetic story - Meet depressing squirrels - Play as a praying mantis What players say : - “it's so aesthetically and tonally unsettling” - “When the credits roll you will be thinking about the game, and yourself, and if you should have done it differently” - “It's a unique, creative, and well done dive into a mind in crisis” Warning: This game has no save feature during a playthrough.

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: $5.99
  • Highest observed: $5.99

The Repairing Mantis'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 $5.99, the highest is $5.99, and the first visible tracked price is $5.99. 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 Repairing Mantis'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 $5.99, 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 $5.99. The latest run records $5.99 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: $5.99
  • Current list price: $5.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The Repairing Mantis at $5.99 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.
