  • Duck's Despair Release date: January 26 ! - 4 January 2024

    Dear Folks, I'm happy to announce the release date for Duck's Despair, January 26th! It's been a long and tiring journey through the whole year of 2023 to bring this game to birth. I am very happy to have made it within my deadlines! Play the demo, share the words with your friends, and prepare for an unforgiving journey that will take you to the depths of your own madness. Happy New Year!

  • New Demo! - 30 December 2023

    Dear folks, I just uploaded the final version of the demo. Most levels in that demo are different from the previous version, so make sure to give it a try! Since every level has been through a rework, I had to reset the save file. However, the progression you unlock starting from now, will be carried over to the full version of the game! Steam doesn't allow for achievements to be unlocked from a demo, but don't worry, your achievements are saved under the hood, and you'll unlock all those you achieved as soon as you launch the full version. Oh, by the way, have you seen the new trailer? I am very excited to hear your feedback.

  • Achievements! - 27 December 2023

    Hey folks, I've been working hard recently to keep up with my deadlines. I will soon update the demo so you can try the first 18 definitive levels of the game. And right now I've just setted up the achievements so you can see for yourself what kind of challenges await in the full release. Thanks for being so patient, I'll give more news in the future. I'll soon announce the release date ;) Take care.

  • Update 0.41 - 7 October 2023

    This small update introduce a new piece of lore, as an interlude level after you beat level 30. Therefore the other interlude levels have been moved, respectively after level 10 and level 20. If you already beaten the game, simply play the level 30 again to discover this new scenario. I also moved the background position in many levels, resulting in a better readability.

  • Update 0.4 - 6 October 2023

    The update 0.4 bring minor changes to the level design and an important bugfix ! Bug: Fixed bug that was deleting save file when unlocking achievements Gameplay: Time for "pixel" jump with spring platform increased: 0.06s -> 0.1s Increased the egg difficulty on a couple of levels UI: New art for the main menu. Changed the appearence of the buttons. Dialogue skip is now more effective.

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 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $6.99
  • Highest observed: $6.99

Duck's Despair's USD price history spans from Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 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 $6.99, the highest is $6.99, and the first visible tracked price is $6.99. 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

Duck's Despair'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 $6.99, from Sep 24, 2026 through Sep 24, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $6.99. The latest run records $6.99 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: $6.99
  • Current list price: $6.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Duck's Despair at $6.99 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.
