    Hello all, First off, a massive thank you to everyone who’s tried out the No Return demo during the first day of Steam Next Fest! 🎉 We're beyond excited to have you dive into our game. Now, let's address the mammoth in the room – our demo’s install size. We noticed some of you might have seen a whopping 34GB download size and thought, "Is this an RPG or did I just install the entire internet?" Fear not! This is a bit of a mix-up on Steam's end. The actual size of our demo is a much more manageable 16GB. We promise, No Return hasn’t decided to include a hidden library of medieval literature in its files. So...to clarify: The install size shows up as 34GB. IT'S REALLY JUST 16GB Your internet connection will breathe a sigh of relief. We apologize for the confusion and appreciate your patience as we sort this out. We want your experience to be smooth and enjoyable, not to mention a tad bit…

About this game

Follow us Keep up to date with all the latest info on No Return - follow us here: About the Game No Return is a first-person psychological horror game set in modern-day China with a particular focus on a specific family tragedy. It follows the protagonist as he returns from work to his family home, only to find it transformed into a never-ending loop of hallways that results in a nightmare. The story unfolds as he attempts to navigate this unsettling maze, in a desperate attempt to uncover the mystery and reclaim his shattered memories. Gameplay Features Our protagonist embarks on a mind-shattering journey that fuses fantasy with reality as he scavenges for clues to understand what has happened. Gameplay highlights include the following: Dreamcore psycho-horror experience A highly immersive experience presented through high-quality environments and sound effects that make it seem like you’re in a dream you cannot wake up from. Chinese folklore-based puzzle elements The gameplay introduces elements of Chinese folklore which connect the living and the dead. This also offers clues that can be used to solve puzzles and unlock precious memories from the past. Never-ending nightmare hallway (endless deja vu) Inspiration is taken from horror classics such as Silent Hill in order to reinforce how the protagonist cannot escape or return home. We find ourselves trapped in an unending corridor of horror, familiar yet unsettling, which transforms with new elements each time you pass through. Uncovering the illusive truth No Return tells a story of a broken home. As memory fragments are collected, it becomes clear that not all memories are welcoming. Just like repeatedly tearing a band-aid from an open wound, you cannot avert your eyes from this cruel and painful experience.

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: $7.99
  • Highest observed: $7.99

No Return'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 $7.99, the highest is $7.99, and the first visible tracked price is $7.99. 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

No Return'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 $7.99, 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 $7.99. The latest run records $7.99 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: $7.99
  • Current list price: $7.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records No Return at $7.99 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.
