  • Placebo Love V1.2 Upcoming! + Art Update - 18 December 2023

    Hey, Lonely Lovers! A large patch is going to be released early next year (2024). I'm hoping for January, but we'll see! https://static.wixstatic.com/media/91cba3_492443f41ed44b17900fa4374438c8aa~mv2.png What Can I Expect? There will be a lot of big and small changes in Placebo Love with the next update, most of which I'll outline when the time comes. For now, the main things to know are: Profile Images Character art assets have been changed to a pixelated style, only possible with the wonderful superpowers of Vic Mietus. Some of the designs of the characters have changed to better fit this style, like how Tristan decided to stop shaving his head between updates! https://static.wixstatic.com/media/91cba3_360957ee2d1743b2a639270182db8b3d~mv2.png New Endings Two new endings have been added. Each of these are a little peculiar in that they require a person to NOT have full Bonds in order t…

  • Hotfix 21.11.08 - 8 November 2021

    More little fixes! Oooh, how delightful! Biggest fix: - Possible to visit Xu Cream Silo with someone other than Diana/Nadia (*wink*) Normal fixes: - Made it so Neglected Bonds MUST be paid - Changed the area name in the secret post-credits thing - Enabled FF during secret post-credits thing (I think) - Fixed FF bug in Xu Cream Silo - Changed "Hanged Man" reference in Ash/Tristan ending - Tweaked some MOTHEMO stuff - Increased speed of Influence spending when over 1000 - Fixed Mundane Places bug where a certain place would not get added - Fixed plot issue if you get Annie's confession before doing her Romance topic - Ash Bond 1 Romance Priority truth option fixed - Fixed Folder icons for Marika and Doctor Benson - Updated Weekly Report to show time spent with Connected Bonds - CC now available after Connected... kinda - Changed Sushi's phone color - Typos! - Removed the name of the rare…

  • Mac Cheevos! - 30 October 2021

    This update should make it so Mac Achievements register on Steam properly. If you have a Mac file and the Achievements haven't worked, simply update, play the game, and load whichever save file you need. This should trigger all the Achievements you've unlocked. There are still some known problems with Mac builds that we'll hopefully figure out in the future: - Certain version of Mac have awkward, scrunched typeface in certain sections of the game - Using the Exit command leaves the window for the game, just empty. Why? Dunno yet.

  • Hotfix 21.10.06 - 6 October 2021

    Got around to implementing a couple little changes and fixes that hopefully make the experience run as smooth as thirst-quenching carbonated beverages! The biggest change is that you can now hang out with people after being CONNECTED with them. It's a soft replica sequence of Alone Time but with the person of your choice. Plus there's a gentle mini-game. It's not much, but it's nice. I may add more to that as time allows. ;) - Fixed bug that locked game if you didn't go to the silo with Nadia/Diana - Fixed double music in CC Bond 2 - Adjusted text alignment of conversation log - Xu Silo image in certain endings - Changed Neglect cost values (10 min., 1 after upgrade) - Fixed issue with Rawn's survey - Post-Connected hangouts - Fora Bolsonaro - Little RPS minigame during post-Connect hangouts - The Girls become Invested if chosen for mid-week events - Trist becomes Invested at Museum Pea…

  • Hotfix 21.09.11 - 12 September 2021

    A few extra bugs, taken care of (we hope)! - Fixed Week 4 NG+ lockout - Aspect of Self should be working - Fixed bug where CC talked about Rawn incorrectly even after you maxed his bond - Cleared "Trophy" data as you go in to NG+ - Moved a certain endgame cheevo to the final Save Point scene - Random typos, always If you have any more bugs, don't be shy! And leave a review if you like what you've played. :)

  • Hotfix 21.09.08 - 9 September 2021

    Just doing some classic post-release clean-up! Don't mind me! - Fixed the "ghost Tristan" in the convo log - Updated several Ending portraits - Various typos, always - Removed erroneous location text in Week1, Period1 (Lorne) - Fixed a Trophy data bug where several just said "0" as a description - Fixed the Calendar App which offset "MK" - Fixed the bug where you tell Mother about Annie and it spoils the plot (I hope) - Hopefully added proper icon for Mac Known Bugs for Next Time: - Some NG+ files get stuck on Week 4 - Mac is still not doing cheevos, ugh

Short description

A lonely young man is guided by a silent Muse to solve the mystery behind his two Doppelganger Soulmates.

About this game

Lorne Volley gets spammed. "Find Your Soulmate," it says. Silly. Pathetic. An obvious scam. He responds. Twice. The next day he bumps into twin strangers who look alike, talk alike, and don't seem to know the other exists. You're Lorne's silent Muse. His guiding hand. His Jiminy Cricket. Draw him from his loneliness to connect with acquaintances, reunite with family, and explore the ebbing romances of two distant cities. Maybe you'll unravel his doppelganger dilemma and reveal "true" love. Or maybe he'll end up alone. This is a mystery at its heart, not a love story. Yet, the bond between romance and mystery is always tighter than it first appears. Enter this narrative like a detective, inspecting the crime scene that is placebo love. KEY EXPERIENCES FOMO: Navigate a tight schedule of diverse bonds HONESTY: Choose when to tell the truth or hide those feelings FUTURES: Unlock multiple endings by juggling contacts INSPIRATION: Be the gentle push and pull of lonely lives OTHER FEATURES OF NOTE Narratively rich. Like a dense brownie made of book parts. Expect a lot of good reading. Gorgeous soundtrack by Lannie "Merlandese" Neely III and Fernando "Ferdk" Carabajal. We're proud of it. LGBTQ+ inclusion. A schedule system. That's the heart of it. Think of, like, a Persona game but with none of the dungeon-y stuff. Alcohol is represented and in some cases abused. Be careful. Sex is implied and mentioned in some cases, but is never the focus. WHAT NOT TO EXPECT A harem. There are many people to spend time with, but not in the "romantic" or "sexual" way. True love. We don't know what that is. The best on offer is a placebo. Simple solutions. Not everything will become completely clear by the end, like life.

Steam marketplace comparison data

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: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $4.49
  • Highest observed: $4.49

Placebo Love's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 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 $4.49, the highest is $4.49, and the first visible tracked price is $4.49. 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: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -50%
  • Latest sale window: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -50%, with a lowest recorded final price of $4.49 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Sep 23, 2026 and ends Sep 23, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

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 $4.49, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. The latest run records $4.49 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $8.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $4.49
  • Current list price: $8.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Placebo Love at $4.49 in USD, with a listed base price of $8.99 and a -50% markdown. 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.
