  • Update 1.04 - 15 February 2016

    Big change - the 6 previous weapon skills are now merged into 3. Having such specific weapon skills was causing too much upgrade lock-in, and most of the weapons in the game couldn't even be equipped on a single run. Other changes: Map vision stays around for longer Slightly more morsels in the mid and late game Ghost allies are not quite as tough with the Ghost whisperer ability Improved balance of NG+++ player upgrade scaling

  • Update 1.03 - 12 February 2016

    By popular request - you can now use morsels in combat. Hold the B button (Q on keyboard) to consume your smallest morsel. Morsels are still scarce, so use wisely!

  • DarkMaus is Dark Souls starring a mouse - 30 January 2016

    DarkMaus is a great name for a game that is basically Dark Souls, but starring a mouse. DarkMaus is out now on Steam , and features bonfires, medieval combat, and even an interface highly reminiscent of From Software's game. The major difference, of course, is that you are a mouse. And your enemies are other mice, along with spiders, crows, and other creatures mice probably encounter in their daily lives. There's also this mechanic, which sounds interesting: "Each time you die, an ally ghost is summoned that retraces your steps, fighting by your side. With time you can collect multiple ally ghosts and choose their weapons for extra strategy opportunities." DarkMaus, meet DeadMaus. Somewhere, DeadMau5's giant ears are burning. The reception on Steam seems positive for this one, and I must say I'm intrigued despite hoping there are few more colours hidden in it somewhere. If you like Dark…

Short description

DarkMaus is an indie action RPG with challenging, skill-based combat that punishes careless play.

About this game

In DarkMaus, you play a lonely wanderer searching for what's left in a corrupted world. The odds are against you - you will certainly perish. Note: This game is designed for an Xbox Controller , but mouse / keyboard works too. A worthy challenge - combat in DarkMaus is thoughtful and skill based. Enemies force you to be reactive to survive, and punish any greedy moves or mistakes. You'll start out swearing that it's impossible, and end up a god among Mäuse. Death Echo - each time you die, an ally ghost is summoned that retraces your steps, fighting by your side. With time you can collect multiple ally ghosts and choose their weapons for extra strategy opportunities. A dark world to explore - search for answers and secrets in the desolate land of Hazath, whose inhabitants have gone feral. Combat style variety - from spears to greatswords and bows to fireballs, DarkMaus has a large number of viable builds and playstyles, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

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: $4.99
  • Highest observed: $4.99

DarkMaus'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 $4.99, the highest is $4.99, and the first visible tracked price is $4.99. 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

DarkMaus'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 $4.99, 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 $4.99. The latest run records $4.99 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: $4.99
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records DarkMaus at $4.99 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.
