    Fixed the issue when workers were stuck and didn't return to their workplaces; Added crash reporter client to send more details about crashes if they happened to the developers (don't worry, it doesn't send any private information, only the log file and the crash dump); Fixed a potential exploit in the Daily Challenge; Fixed several other minor bugs and crashes;

    In this small update, we have fixed the crash on Steamdeck

    What we improved: Quality of life improvements, including some community requests; Fixed dozens of minor or rare bugs in HUD and localization - they are mostly invisible to people but arrive from time to time; Fixed leaderboard which showed only 100 records; Excluded the Reorganization event from the week bonuses if no workplaces are affected.

    Hello everybody. Today we are making some cool updates to the game. Here they are: - Added the ability to start the map with a predefined seed. You can see the seed of the current map in the pause menu and copy it from there. - Now you can see not just the place of the last Daily Challenge you participated in but also the results table. We think it is always interesting to see 🙂 - Now event menu shows if the new server room is going to spawn so there wouldn't be any surprises here. - While you are playing the level music will shuffle through the playlist now. As usual, we have several bug fixes; Enjoy 🙂

  • The Cable Guy Soundtrack - 17 March 2024

    Hello everyone. As some of you already noticed The Cable guy soundtrack was released recently. Enjoy familiar tunes whenever you want even outside the game and we hope it will bring some fun memories of solving some particulary tricky rooms :) You can find it here https://store.steampowered.com/app/2866180/The_Cable_Guy_Soundtrack/

  • Update March, 7th - 7 March 2024

    In this patch, our primary focus was on enhancing stability and performance. Several improvements and optimizations have been implemented to address crashes, although not all issues may be resolved. Still, the switching to DirectX11 remains a workaround in some cases. So, we continue to work on this. Upon the first launch, the game will conduct an internal benchmark to automatically configure optimal graphics settings. We've tuned visuals for low-spec PCs to ensure a smoother experience. Additional Fixes and Improvements: Corrected music interruptions during gameplay Restored the missing Exit button in photo mode Introduced a couple of new weekend events Resolved various animation issues Expanded zoom levels for better visibility Implemented several quality-of-life improvements Thank you for your continued support as we work to refine and enhance your gaming experience.

  • Selling stuff for full price - 19 February 2024

    First of all thank you all who played our demo. You left a lot of comments about ways you would like for the game to improve in and we tried to accomodate as many as we could. It seems that alot of you disliked the fact that selling stuff retunes only 50% of the value. This feature was added early in the development as the inflation tool and a the way to add more pressure on the player but turned out that it feels unfair for the newer players and a bit inconsequential for the more seasoned ones. So we removed it :) Not just it - here is the list with some of the changes we made in the last couple of weeks: - new score model implemented - reworked economy system - added new cursors - implemented some additional options to help you customize your experience. Like ability to switch between drag and point and click modes for building wires and dark theme for the tractical mode - auto-saves…

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: Oct 4, 2026 to Oct 4, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $7.99
  • Highest observed: $7.99

The Cable Guy's USD price history spans from Oct 4, 2026 to Oct 4, 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 $7.99, the highest is $7.99, and the first visible tracked price is $7.99. 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

The Cable Guy'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 $7.99, from Oct 4, 2026 through Oct 4, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $7.99. The latest run records $7.99 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: $7.99
  • Current list price: $7.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The Cable Guy at $7.99 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.
