  • Bighorn Ramone: our new hoop horror game - 24 July 2026

    Hi there!We're excited to reveal Bighorn Ramone, the new horror game we're developing at Appnormals.The premise is simple: you're trapped inside a sports team mascot suit.We wanted to combine two of our biggest passions (horror movies and basketball) to create a tense, atmospheric horror experience centered on dread, vulnerability, and human violence.Here's our teaser trailer:The mascot suit isn't just part of the story... it's the game's core mechanic. Its limited visibility and clumsy movement make every encounter more terrifying, creating a double layer of claustrophobia: you're trapped inside a basketball arena, and you're trapped inside the suit itself.Caught in a time loop between the present day and a mysterious basketball game in 1986, you'll have to perform as the team's mascot while evading hostile fans searching for answers about what really happened that night.If the premise…

  • New game: FRANK AND DRAKE - 23 April 2021

    Hello everyone! We hope you're all well and safe during these crazy times, please take care! On our side, we have been working really hard for the past couple of years on a new narrative game after STAY. Still a lot of work to do, but we are happy to finally introduce our next project: it is called FRANK AND DRAKE, it is planned to launch this coming fall and it has a Steam page live! FRANK AND DRAKE on Steam FRANK AND DRAKE is a modern take on the classic novels of Frankenstein and Dracula, with two housemates inspired by their iconic characters. They will have different time cycles and we will play both characters sequentially: Frank during the day, Drake during the night. In consequence, they will not bump into each other ever, and their relationship will develop through sticky notes and other written messages. One remarkable aspect of the game is the visuals, using the rotoscoping t…

  • STAY Skip Function - 22 May 2018

    In response to numerous player comments, Appnormals are planning the implementation of a feature that will allow players to skip puzzle sections for subsequent playthroughs. A button at the top right corner of the screen will appear once the player has completed the game at least once, which will complete the current puzzle and allow players to continue on with the story.

Short description

Award-winning, innovative puzzle-adventure. By communicating through your PC, you must help a kidnapped man escape captivity - in real-time. While you sleep, he is alone. When you return to your PC he has hope. Your encouragement and advice will be the difference between his salvation or despair.

About this game

What would you do if a stranger’s fate rested in your fingertips? And how would you cope if every second counted? Award-winning graphic adventure STAY asks those very questions: When Quinn wakes up alone in a locked room with nothing of note save for a computer hooked up to a chat room, you become his single ray of hope. Your choices – and your timeliness – will single-handedly shape his escape efforts… or lead him down the path to an untimely end. STAY plays out in real-time, meaning that every minute spent away from the game is a minute Quinn is left alone. Drop out of conversations or leave Quinn to fend for himself for too long and there may be consequences. Quinn is on edge, and so every response matters. Prove yourself a compassionate ally and he’ll learn to trust you and share his findings and deepest thoughts. Fail, and his emotions may work against you. Featuring 24 chapters, seven different endings, dozens of potential deaths and entire webs of conversation, STAY is designed to be replayed multiple times. Explore different rooms and unearth hidden secrets in subsequent playthroughs to piece together the full story. Webcams enable you to spy on Quinn, letting you see both his reactions to your comments and his actions while AFK. Pick up on his lies and use that knowledge to your advantage. Help Quinn get the better of the conundrums he encounters inside his prison by taking direct control of his actions during puzzle sections.

Steam marketplace comparison data

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 21, 2026 to Sep 21, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $11.99
  • Highest observed: $11.99

STAY's USD price history spans from Sep 21, 2026 to Sep 21, 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 $11.99, the highest is $11.99, and the first visible tracked price is $11.99. 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

STAY'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 $11.99, from Sep 21, 2026 through Sep 21, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $11.99. The latest run records $11.99 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: $11.99
  • Current list price: $11.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records STAY at $11.99 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.
