Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Elegy for a Dead World
I went in expecting a game and found something closer to a creative writing prompt wrapped in lonely atmosphere. Elegy for a Dead World drops you on three visually distinct dead planets and asks you to fill in blanks in pre-written narratives - you're not choosing dialogue trees, you're supplying adjectives, verbs, and entire sentences that become canon to that world's story. It's part Mad Libs, part interactive fiction, entirely dependent on whether you find that premise compelling. The three worlds have different vibes (each with its own visual style and narrative frame), so the writing exercise doesn't feel as repetitive as it could. But this is niche by design: if you're not someone who enjoys creative writing as gameplay, the thin mechanical skeleton won't hold your interest. Works best for players who think in prose and want their writing to matter, even in a small way.
