The Pit And The Pendulum

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 Pit And The Pendulum
The Pit and the Pendulum strips Edgar Allan Poe down to its core: you're trapped in a cell with a swinging blade closing in. This isn't a horror game designed to make you scream. Instead, it's a methodical escape puzzle where you hunt for hidden objects, figure out mechanisms, and talk your way through encounters with guards and fellow prisoners. The pacing is slow and deliberate, which means patience is your real enemy here, not the pendulum. What works is the claustrophobic setting and the variety of solutions you can attempt. What doesn't is the production value and pacing for anyone expecting rapid-fire gameplay. This is indie adventure comfort food for people who like reading the room and clicking objects until something gives. Not for speedrunners or action fans.
