Latest Steam announcements

  • Final (?) update for The Retro Exorcist is now live! - 30 August 2026

    One last update unless I did something wrong :) - Added skip option for already seen text (Ctrl key) - Added delete all data button in the options menu - Fixed achievement soft lock - Implemented cloud storage Again, let me know if something doesn't work or goes wrong and I'll look into it!

  • Final FINAL patch is on the way (also, I'm making a new game) - 9 August 2026

    Hi. FINAL PATCH UPDATE This is more or less an announcement for an upcoming patch rather than a patch itself. I've received some reports over two main issues: an achievement softlock and lack of a skip button.These are issues I have been attempting to address for a while behind the scenes, and while I'm fairly certain I've fixed the achievement thing, the skip button has been a constant thorn in my side. The reason for it is kind of long an convoluted, but let's just say it caused certain animations and events to not load properly.I say all of this to say that I finally, FINALLY found a solution for it after all this time. I discovered it whilst working on my next game, which had a similar issue until now.So that's it then, right? problem solved? Well, almost. I still need to test everything before I'm sure it's ready, and I need to remember how to properly publish it to Steam without b…

  • First post-launch Patch wait didn't I already do this - 5 June 2026

    Hello Retro Exorcist Fans! *cricket sounds* We've got an exciting update coming this way. And by exciting, I mean should have already been in the game but I was neglectful and didn't really know what I was doing. And by coming this way, I mean it's already here. Here's a list of fixes and changes - Fixed bug during the third anomaly (Kumiko) where the player could skip to the fourth anomaly (Necrosis). I already did this...literally 1 day ago, but I messed with it a little more just to be sure. - Added a safeguard where, in case the bug persists, it'll cut to Kumiko's fail scene. Not the most elegant solution, but it's only there in case the issue somehow persists, which it shouldn't. - Made it so that all music should stop upon deleting an anomaly. - Fixed a ton of spelling and grammatical errors. Admittedly, I have astronomical levels of dyslexia and just didn't notice a lot of these.…

  • First post-launch patch - 4 June 2026

    Addressed a bug during Kumiko's section where a lack of available questions jumped directly into Necrosis' section. That's it. Thank you to everyone who sent in bug reports. Admittedly, I did not have too many play testers on this project as I assumed there would not be as many since this is a polished version of a game I already released. Evidently, this was not the case. I will be more prudent on play testing going forward. Will address any spelling/grammar errors once all of them have been gathered in a future patch, as well as some other bits of cut content that was unable to be added previously.

Short description

You've been hired to perform exorcisms on all sorts of entities. The only thing you can't seem to understand is...why do they all haunt video games?

About this game

Story After losing your position as a priest for the Vatican, you find yourself employed for a shady company. You've been hired to perform exorcisms on all sorts of entities. The only thing you can't seem to understand is...why do they all haunt video games? The Retro Exorcist is a narrative-focused visual novel centered around a former priest as he attempts to exorcize a plethora of haunted video game discs and cartridges. In order to set these entities free, you must ask them several questions to learn more about their past lives. But be careful, too many questions will cause them to go berserk, and not every question is important to the investigation.

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 Retro Exorcist'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 Retro Exorcist'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 Retro Exorcist 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.
