Latest Steam announcements

  • Information on Future Updates. - 7 July 2025

    To all current and future players,It is with frustration that I must inform you the development files, as well as the hard drive holding all development work for this game, have been corrupted. As of right now, all future work on the game will be halted indefinitely - as possible solutions are tested.That being said, for those of you who currently have the game, and are still having issues unlocking a particular achievement, that achievement has been removed from the Steam page - this should solve any completionist problems.Thank you again for taking the time to play this game. I hope you all well.- The Dev

  • UPDATE. - 17 May 2024

    In this files update, performance has been the main focus. As many of you will notice, the overall file size is drastically smaller than before. This is mainly in part due to the latter portion of the game being removed and fully replaced with a new ending. Also, some minor, but reoccurring bugs have been addressed. Bug fixes: 1. In some instances, players may get to the "dark level" and upon flicking the light switch, the backlights come on, but the main overhead light does not appear. This has been addressed, now both sets of lights will come on, and stay on if the player chooses to close the game out whilst in this level. 2. Frame rate drops in the Opera House should not occur for moderate to higher end GPU's. The overall performance of the level has been improved, as well as most excess asset data been removed. Work on this level will continue over the coming weeks. 3. Progressive d…

  • Letter to the players - 30 March 2024

    As another successful sales period is coming to an end, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who have chosen to spend some of your time playing this game. I made this game as a test-run for game development, with zero experience prior to the matter. For those of you who played the game closer to the initial launch, you may clearly remember the rough, bug-filled, start this game had. With consistent feedback from you, the players, the game has been patched out into what it was originally designed to be. So, thank you all for your extensive feedback, and for your time. I hope you have enjoyed yourselves and thank you all so much again. - The Dev

Short description

It's you, in room, with a big switch on the wall. What more could you ask for in groundbreaking, forward reaching, out-of-this-world game design? Nothing. This is the peak of gaming.

About this game

This is LITERALLY just a game about flicking a switch. It's in the title. You, in a room, four pale-green colored walls, stained carpet, and those funky ceiling tiles you definitely imagined punching out when you were a kid. Are you looking for groundbreaking mechanics? There's one function in the game - you flick a switch. Maybe award-winning graphics? Well, it is Unreal Engine 5. But let's be honest here, the engine is not in the slightest sense utilized to its highest ability in this game. How about immersive story-driven gameplay? Nope. Not here. Unless you consider the story of you really reconciling with the fact you spent money to flick a virtual switch, when you and I both know you are most likely sitting in a room right now that has a few switches scattered around the walls. Have fun staring at your bank account later, wondering where it all went wrong as you dove helplessly into the immersive world of a 9x9x9 room with ONE SWITCH ON THE WALL FOR YOU TO INTERACT WITH. Anyways, let's jump ahead to the key features: There are none. Depending on how you judge the "ending" of a game, or how you would quantify your sense of sanity in terms of time spent playing a game where you do absolutely nothing but stand in a single room flicking a single switch as time around you ticks on; endlessly disregarding any sense of desperation for it to slow down so that you may bask in the sanctity of joy for even a brief moment, until hopefully the power cuts out, or someone comes to your aide to end this troubling sense of self infliction -- It should take you around 1 - 30 minutes to complete the game. Buy it, don't buy it. Totally your decision. This game will not keep you up at night, nor will it have you beckoning for more; but if for some reason it does butter your cups, douse your daisies in oil, or roll your drums, then I may consider you take some time away from gaming for a short period, or maybe the whole period. I do not, in any sense of lacking the word, hope that you do not find, to any extent, any amount of enjoyment from this game. Final note: The selected reviews above are totally not from ChatGPT. They are real, and so are the names of those who wrote the…

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 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $1.99
  • Highest observed: $1.99

A Game About Flicking A Switch's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 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 $1.99, the highest is $1.99, and the first visible tracked price is $1.99. 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

A Game About Flicking A Switch'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 $1.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $1.99. The latest run records $1.99 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: $1.99
  • Current list price: $1.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records A Game About Flicking A Switch at $1.99 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.
