  • Point and Click Adventure, 90s Inspired, The Dark Prophecy, Fully Released - 1 March 2022

    The Dark Prophecy is a spiritual successor to the classic adventure games released in the 1990s by Lucas Art and Sierra. In a medieval village, Jacob is going about his rather dull, everyday life, when one fateful night, his peaceful village is forever changed, and Jacob with it. In The Dark Prophecy, players can explore beautiful pixel-art locations by choosing their own adventure dialogues using classic "look/talk/use" interactions. Welcome to a peaceful medieval village, where life is safe and calm. But one fateful night, everything changes. The Dark Prophecy is a 2D pixel-art point-and-click adventure inspired by the best retro games of the '90s.

These feelings justify all the h…

  • Action-Platformer, Jumphobia: Homeward Bound, Coming To Steam In Q1 2022 - 14 December 2021

    Indie game publisher Meridian4 is proud to announce the upcoming release of Jumphobia: Homeward Bound, a side-scroller platformer created by indie developer Wix Games. Scheduled for official release in Q1 2022, Jumphobia: Homeward Bound is a fast-paced platformer with no jump button! Jumphobia: Homeward Bound is a game built around the premise of getting from "A" to "B" by jumping - but not when you want to! All Jump-bots are built with a failsafe to limit their maneuverability, meaning that you as the player can only automatically jump when you reach the edge of a drop or platform. That's right - it's a platforming game without a jump button! Artist statement: The concept for the original Jumphobia game was to try and see if a platform could still be fun without a jump button. It’s the most important element to almost every platformer - so what would happen if it isn’t there? The resul…

  • Meridian4 News - Hirilun Developer Blog - 1 December 2021

    Welcome! Today we want to talk about how we have selected the art style of Hirilun. We want to make a kind of dark style, with a comic feel. So we decided to use an outline for everything, that way we have the feel of a comic, and also is very clear to see a limit of an element. Very useful on a first-person platformer. And to emphasize the important aspects of the game, like collectibles. We make it all black and white, and it makes the feel dark and useful also to see what is important to the game and attract the attention of the player. Plaza was the first level we made, and it has changed a lot over time. At first, it was much simpler, and it was designed with the idea that it needed to be easy to keep playing even if you fell. We also wanted different paths so you could choose if you preferred to take the upper way through windows and roofs, or the lower one through benches and ter…

  • Meridian4 News - Paladin Dream Black Friday / Holiday Season Game Update - 23 November 2021

    It’s been really enjoyable and inspirational to watch players stream Paladin Dream. It feels like playing God and watching people explore the world I created, and I also get to see which parts are celebrated, and where the game could be better or less confusing. I’ve gotten lots of positive feedback about the story, and I wanted to focus this update on showing more information about the world. The demon worshiping cult is malicious, reclusive, and possesses black magic to keep outsiders away. I wanted to show the extent to which they’ve gone to protect their temple (which was crudely dug out of a city wall). In the update, Josiah explores an MC Escher-like looping room and a hallucination that projects his fear. This dungeon is intended to be full of creepy traps. The fortune-teller in Nazarfang encounter is also expanded a bit, to give the player some early insight into the 3 different…

  • Meridian4 News - The Dark Prophecy Game Update - 16 November 2021

    Can you hear the trumpets and the stomping of horses? It seems we are approaching the royal castle! This location is an important link in Jacob's journey to other places. And, as you can see for yourself - from here we have a way to the kitchen, to the servants' room, to the king's castle, and to the prison (and who knows which location we will find ourselves in next time!). Here, for the first time, we meet the inhabitants of the castle - a bored and resting servant, a castle keeper, and a guard patrolling the wall. At the moment, this location, like the previous "Castle Gates", is being added with minimal functionality. The plan is to add all the planned content first, and only then polish the game and fill it with all the dialogue, adventure, and puzzles you need. Sorry for the slow development speed - the artist and I are doing our best to release the game as soon as possible. And,…

Short description

Dark Matter is a classic arcade space shooter inspired by Asteroids, featuring fast-paced ship combat, physics-based movement, and score-driven gameplay.

About this game

Classic Arcade Space Shooter Action Dark Matter is a retro-style arcade space shooter inspired by classic games like Asteroids . Players pilot a spacecraft in open space, destroying enemies and hazards while managing momentum, inertia, and positioning. The focus is on fast reactions, precise control, and survival under constant pressure. Physics-Based Combat and Movement Movement in Dark Matter is driven by physics rather than fixed paths. Thrust, rotation, and momentum all matter, rewarding players who master ship control and spatial awareness. Combat is immediate and skill-based, with escalating difficulty that challenges reflexes and situational awareness rather than long-term progression systems. Score-Driven, Replayable Gameplay Dark Matter is built around short, intense play sessions and high-score chasing. Each run pushes players to improve efficiency, accuracy, and survivability. This is a pure arcade experience , designed for replayability rather than narrative or exploration. Key Features Classic arcade space shooter gameplay Physics-based ship movement and combat Fast-paced, reflex-driven action Score-focused design built for replayability Retro-inspired presentation Single-player arcade experience

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 8, 2026 to Oct 8, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.99
  • Highest observed: $4.99

Dark Matter's USD price history spans from Oct 8, 2026 to Oct 8, 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

Dark Matter'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 8, 2026 through Oct 8, 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 Dark Matter 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.
