  • Perception adds new difficulty modes, extra dialogue - 1 November 2017

    A post about Perception ? Today? A spooky game? On November 1st? When the pumpkins are already rotting on the doorstep? Hey buddy, to me every day is Halloween . And I am always interested in exploring a haunted house as a blind woman blessed with magical echolocation powers. While Perception didn’t quite come together, as Adam said in his review developers The Deep End Games have returned to overhaul and revamp it a little. They’ve launched an update adding new difficulty modes — both easier and more difficult — while expanding the story a little and improving performance. (more…)

  • New Patch! - 20 June 2017

    Hello everybody! First of all, thanks so much for supporting Perception! It means a lot to us! We're happy to announce that the new patch is now available with the following fixes: Language Selection You can now change the subtitle language from within the game Keyboard Remapping Please keep in mind that this functionality is still far from perfect and while you're able to remap keys you won't see correct prompts when approaching doors etc. In other words, you need to remember your layout because the game will be always showing you the default prompts. Also, hitting "Reset to defaults" won't impact Sprint, you need to change that manually. This will be addressed in the future patch. Streaming issues aka Chapter 4 looks weird / doesn't work We noticed that a small number of players were experiencing issues in Chapter 4. Not anymore! It has been fixed and should work properly!

  • Altogether ooky: echolocation horror Perception is out - 31 May 2017

    Perception , the horror game exploring the history of a spooky house through the ears of a blind woman with magical Daredevil echolocation, is now out. Our Adam already told us all Wot He Thinks of it last week, which is that it doesn’t quite come together, but now you can actually buy and play it yourself and form your own opinions then, as appropriate, tell Adam to: 1) cram it; 2) keep on keeping on; or 3) you know, whatever. …

  • Wot I Think: Perception - 25 May 2017

    Perception has pedigree. It’s the first game from a new studio, but members of the team have worked on BioShock, BioShock Infinite and Dead Space. Crowdfunded to the tune of $160,000, Perception didn’t simply rely on past glories though; it has one of the strongest hooks I’ve ever seen in a horror game. You play as a blind woman, exploring a haunted (?) house, using echolocation to find your way around, and to discover escape routes when necessary. Sounds good? Here’s wot I think. …

Short description

An award-winning narrative thriller about a blind woman’s journey to uncover the truth about the mansion from her nightmares, or else become one of its victims.

About this game

Perception is an award-winning narrative thriller about a blind woman’s journey to uncover the truth about the mansion from her nightmares, or else become one of its victims. Using sound as her sight, Cassie explores the Estate at Echo Bluff, desperate to unravel its sordid history. But she’s not alone; a deadly entity called The Presence stalks the mansion’s halls. Cassie needs sound to be able to see, but every noise she makes draws The Presence closer. A careful balancing act is required if she wants to discover why she’s there, and why the house won’t let her - or anyone – leave. Game Features: • "See" using echolocation. Every sound creates a visual. • Engage in a deadly game of hide and seek. • Trigger radical change at the Estate at Echo Bluff each time you solve its mysteries. • Travel back through history to exorcise your own nightmares. • Encounter an emotional journey that spans centuries, and in the end, uplifts any underdog who had ever been told no. Accolades: Game of the Year 2017 – The Bit Awards Best in Show 2017 – Boston Festival of Indie Games Best Narrative 2017 – Boston Festival of Indie Games “Perception is a memorable horror experience that thrives because of its unique setup and gameplay. Although more unsettling than downright terrifying, Perception managed to keep me on the edge of my seat, forcing me to solve a compelling mystery by facing what lurked in the dark.” – Game Informer, 8.25 About The Deep End Games: Married for over 12 years, Bill and Amanda Gardner made Perception from their basement while chasing around their four wild kids. With Bill’s experience in AAA (Lead Level Designer on BioShock and Design Director on BioShock Infinite), and Amanda’s experience writing novels, the two put together a AAA-pedigree team with an indie attitude.

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 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $2.99
  • Highest observed: $2.99

Perception's USD price history spans from Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 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 $2.99, the highest is $2.99, and the first visible tracked price is $2.99. 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: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -80%
  • Latest sale window: Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -80%, with a lowest recorded final price of $2.99 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Oct 5, 2026 and ends Oct 5, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

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 $2.99, from Oct 5, 2026 through Oct 5, 2026. The latest run records $2.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $14.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $2.99
  • Current list price: $14.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Perception at $2.99 in USD, with a listed base price of $14.99 and a -80% markdown. 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.
