  • Why The Visitor is 0.99c - 4 April 2016

    I originally made The Visitor as a small project to scare friends and family, just as a small project to whip out when a few people were over. I decided to share it with the VR community, and was blown away by the fantastic amount of support I received. Like many devs involved in VR at this early stage, I am entirely self funded, and all development is done in the evenings and late into the night. I wanted to give away The Visitor for free, and the only reason I added a price of 0.99c is to help towards making the next experience bigger and better. A few months back I bought a DK2 to create The Visitor. Since then I had limited access to a Vive, and almost no access to a CV1. I have relied heavily on the good will of others with regard to testing the game on the newer iterations of the headsets. Each contribution will be put towards the next game a longer, higher quality experience for…

  • Running on CV1 - 2 April 2016

    Hi everyone, Regarding the CV1 version, you may have to set your CV1 headset as being the default audio device on your PC before launching the game. Apologies if this is an inconvenience. 1. Right Click your audio symbol on your taskbar 2. Click "Playback devices" 3. Select the CV1 headset, and click "Set as default device" Don't forget to make sure that you have set your Rift to be allowed to run external apps (Done from the General settings tab when the Oculus service is running). Apologies for any inconveniences caused. I am working to get past this. Hope you enjoy scaring friends and family with The Visitor.

  • The Visitor is a VR only title - 31 March 2016

    Hi everyone. This is my first ever title on Steam. I spent quite some time working on this game, initially on Oculus Rift, and then on Vive. While building for Steam, I selected the relevant VR options and the game became part of the Steam VR library. Some of you seem to have downloaded the game thinking that it was a non VR title. It is a VR only title. I have edited the description to be more clear regarding the fact that it is VR ONLY. For those of you that did download thinking that it was a standard, non-VR title, I will do my best to refund you your money. I am new to Steam, and so I dont know if there is an option for me to do this directly, or if we will have to do it through Paypal separately. Please just contact me via [email protected] or leave a comment, and we can get this sorted. Stephen

About this game

The Visitor is a VR ONLY horror experience about an unexpected visitor calling to your door in the middle of the night. The game relies heavily on atmosphere, utilizing a dark environment to make the player both as nervous and uncomfortable as possible. The Visitor does not require any controls. Visual cues such as flickering lights inform the player of where to direct their gaze, so simply put on your VR headset and enjoy. What does The Visitor run on? HTC Vive Rift CV1 (Please read the discussion titled "Running on CV1" if you are using the CV1) Oculus Rift 1.3.0 or above Why The Visitor? Ideal VR experience for scaring friends and family. It is a great introduction to VR Only takes 10-12 minutes to complete, so scaring a friends is quick and easy No controls required (just a headset), so don't worry about not being familiar with game controls Gameplay Mechanics The Visitor was made with the intention of being as accessible as possible, so because of that, absolutely no controls are required. You just need to put on the headset, look around, and enjoy :)

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 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

The Visitor's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 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 Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. 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 Visitor'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 Free, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free 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: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The Visitor at Free 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.
