  • Game Update in Progress - 25 October 2023

    Hey Everyone I've been currently working on improving the Performance and Load times of The Orphanage and have made some progress which seems to be looking very good on the game running alot smoother on lower spec PC's. Current issues were with Loading times and Frame drops which only seem to be an issue on some PC's which are 3 years old+ I have had people test on higher end PC's and installed on SSD and the game had no issues with frame drops. However the patch I am currently working on seems to be able to run the game alot smoother and loading times seem alot quicker. I Hope to have this update out ASAP in the next few weeks as I will need to test the game alot to make sure no issues arise from all the performance and optimization tweaks. Also being a Part Time Developer I don't have a great deal of time so please bare with me and I will announce as soon as the update is ready. Dave

  • Working on Improving Game Performance - 5 October 2023

    Hi Everyone I have had feedback from some people regarding Frame drops which I understand can be abit frustrating. I am currently looking into this to try and improve the performace of the game and eliminate the frame drops. Some people have reported no issues with frame drops but are running very high end PC's. It seems to be related to the Shadows from what I can see. I will be working on this over the next few week to hopefully bring out an update to hopefully fix the issue. Dave

  • Version 1.3 Update - 30 August 2023

    Few things have been updated in the patch Chess Puzzle Tweaked.

  • The Orphanage - OUT NOW! - 28 August 2023

    Hi Everyone Thanks for the patience and support with testing taking so long. But finally I am able to release my first project as a part time solo game developer. The Orphanage is a Puzzle/Horror game with somecomplex puzzle to test you and explorer for key items to progress into the game. With also the added obstacle of the resident doctor roaming the halls who is hunting you down. I have spent 3 years working on this and i greatly appreciate any support you can give me with any issues or bugs you may come across to help me improve the gaming experience. I will be activily game developing part time now so I will always respond when I can to any issues and hope to update the game best I can. Lastly I hope you enjoy my first project and hopefully can work on many more in the future. Dave

  • Game Launch Delayed - 12 June 2023

    Hey Everyone Its with the deepest regret that i'm having to delay the launch of The Orphanage due to some very challenging issues from Testing. Currently testing has brought back some issues regarding Loading Saved Games. I've currently managed to make a temp fix for it but its not stable, And the last thing I would want to do is release a game which isn't stable with Loading saved data. Nothing would be more frustrating than progressing far into the game and hours of gameplay only to find that when you try to load your progress the game crashes and have to start over. I have been working on this for over 2 years and want to be able to bring you a game which is fun and not frustrating. I did toy with the Idea of Early Access but I want to make sure that any bugs that may arise aren't game breaking bugs. I will try my best to bring you and all you who have wishlisted my game the full pla…

  • Demo Achievements Now Live! - 28 May 2023

  • Achievements - 18 May 2023

  • Game Development Update - 2 May 2023

    Hi Everyone I'm glad to announce that the development of my game has been going very smoothly. The game is about 99% complete with a few minor bits and pieces left to finish. I will then be moving onto alot of Testing to make sure I can iron out as many issues as possible. Problem is being a Solo Developer and this being my very first attempt at making a game, I'm fair new to this and don't really have many people to help test it so I'm trying to break the game myself to make sure its 100% playable with no issues to hinder the enjoyment and playability. So far though it seems to be going well and not many issues have been arising. So i'm hoping the next few week won't be much of a headache and can get the game finalised for Release in June. New Mechanics that will be available in the full game are as follows Hiding - In the full game you will be able to hide under tables and desks if th…

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: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.99
  • Highest observed: $4.99

The Orphanage's USD price history spans from Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 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 $4.99, the highest is $4.99, and the first visible tracked price is $4.99. 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 Orphanage'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 $4.99, from Oct 6, 2026 through Oct 6, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $4.99. The latest run records $4.99 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: $4.99
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The Orphanage at $4.99 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.
