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 The Big Secret of a Small Town
I went in expecting a narrative adventure and found something quieter: a game where you piece together the secret of how a town's industrial complex produces energy without consuming any. The trading-card system isn't flashy, it's a vehicle for exploration and dialogue, letting you unlock information as you swap cards with locals. If you're the type who enjoys slow-burn worldbuilding and doesn't need combat or puzzle-heavy mechanics to stay engaged, there's something here. It's deliberately low-key, which works against it if you want action or stakes. The production values are indie-minimal, and at 2015 quality, the presentation feels dated. But if you're hunting for an under-the-radar game that trusts you to be curious about its premise, this delivers exactly that, nothing more, nothing less.
