Short description

An indie action RPG about assassins, necromancers, and mysterious rabbits. In an open world where your choices have permanent consequences, do you do the job or do you forge your own path as you meet new characters, battle a slew of enemies, and explore expansive dungeons and locations?

About this game

How To Make A Killing is an open-world action RPG where choices are permanent and ripple through the world around you. The small town of Hamelin is under the threat of a young necromancer, but how you interact with characters, where you go, and how you go about being an assassin who does assassin things is up to you. How To Make A Killing brings the old-school style game into a dark and morally complicated world with cults, addictive-substances, and complicated characters with unique and branching stories. How to Make a Killing Features: Open world exploration and action RPG combat Consequence-driven quests and dialogue choices 13 side quests and 20 unique enemies 28 items with a variety of uses and story implications Inventive puzzles that blend player abilities with in-game objects Throwing knives, invisibility cloaks, lightning, and more Murder And rabbits In Hamelin, every choice is permanent, which means you can’t just hack and slash your way through quests like you would in a purely linear ARPG. Your choices have consequences, shaping the world and impacting events yet to come. Kill someone? They're dead. Steal something? It's stolen. Say something? You said it. Talk to a rabbit? Live with things that you can’t unhear. Rabbits fill the world of How to Make a Killing, and they are just as willing to kill you as they are to share what’s on their mind. Will you trust the rabbits? Will you endure hearing the sordid details of their private lives? Will you take their advice in the tutorial? Will your sword be enough to fend them off when they attack?

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: Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $0.99
  • Highest observed: $0.99

How To Make A Killing's USD price history spans from Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 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 $0.99, the highest is $0.99, and the first visible tracked price is $0.99. 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

How To Make A Killing'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 $0.99, from Oct 5, 2026 through Oct 5, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.99. The latest run records $0.99 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: $0.99
  • Current list price: $0.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records How To Make A Killing at $0.99 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.
