About the game

"8AM" is a suspense game where you find yourself trapped in a room, watching a family through cameras. Without explanations, you must decide if strange events occur night after night. Being correct extends the time, seeking your release by 8:00 a.m.
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, MSI Radeon R7 200 Series, 6 GB of storage. Windows only.

The value story

It has been discounted 26 times in the 3 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 40 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.

It is less well reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. The Supper (free, scores 89) outscores it, and so does Paragnosia ($3.99, scores 69). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
