  • Staving off exhaustion in The Quiet Sleep is too exhausting - 28 November 2019

    Your first goal in The Quiet Sleep is to wake up. You do this by connecting that goal to a willpower mine, which is itself linked to an energy spring via a train of thought. This is very confusing, especially if you’re attempting to understand how this works while frazzled on a Friday afternoon. That confusion isn’t ideal in a game that deliberately hides its true nature. This exacerbates the way you’re meant to feel overwhelmed, like you’re struggling to hold your life together, because that’s exactly what’s happening to your character. That’s sort of a neat idea, except in practice my hour with The Quiet Sleep has left me more exasperated than intrigued. (more…)

  • Minor fixes - 8 July 2018

    I fixed a couple of achievements that weren't firing and fullscreen for songcraft and evocations.

  • Play a messy brain in The Quiet Sleep - 28 May 2018

    Brains are squishy, veiny gobbets of flesh filled with squabbling ideas, desires and feelings. They aren t pretty. And nor is The Quiet Sleep, to be frank. But look past this strategic-narrative game s programmer-art visuals and you ll find a life playing out among its icons. And within that life lies a story told through the systems of a game that somehow successfully blends The Settlers with The Sims, via the Zacklike , tower defence, and a touch of Fallen London. I ve not played a game quite like it. (more…)

  • Crash Fix - 22 February 2018

    Hey, I fixed an issue that caused the game to crash if you lost your job. Now, the game continues to run. You will still be unemployed however. Thanks to the people who found that issue, both for the bug reports and for getting that far with the game!

  • Cleaner Communication of Systems - 27 December 2017

    I recently watched a few more people play The Quiet Sleep and I put in a few small changes to fix issues that these playtesters ran into. I've added the following things: Highlight for the goals menu when there are new goals. Links to goals from the chapter menu. Better indicators for constructions. Indicator for when no focus is being used. Cleaner train menu. Indicator for when a tower runs out of charges and a better explanation of how to recharge. Better indicator of if a building is currently in use.

  • Improved Tutorial - 26 November 2017

    I just put in a full tutorial for the first stage of the game. Getting familiar with the systems of the game proved more difficult for new players than I anticipated and so it seemed reasonable to help people get started.

  • Difficulty Settings - 20 November 2017

    You can now change the difficulty of The Quiet Sleep in the settings panel. I also put in a couple of small features to make it easier to start playing the game and removed the thing that made constructions be deleted if they weren't being built because it was weird for new players.

    Hey, I just pushed another small patch to The Quiet Sleep. The highlights are: - Indicator for when traits have something new. - Improvements to the all buildings menu. - Hints for keyboard shortcuts. - Easier to click buttons. - Fixed a couple of game-crashing bugs. - Added a timer to disabled emotions. Try it out and tell me what you think!

  • Difficulty Update and Other Fixes - 19 October 2017

    I just added a feature to disable the emotions for a while after you lose control so that you have time to recharge all of your defenses and hopefully not lose control again immediately after. Additionally: Currencies no longer die at the end of the day. More sound options. The game pauses automatically when you set up a train of thought. Emotions animate on death. Better communication of damage. Multiple minor bugfixes.

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: $3.74
  • Highest observed: $3.74

The Quiet Sleep'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 $3.74, the highest is $3.74, and the first visible tracked price is $3.74. 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: -25%
  • Latest sale window: Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 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 -25%, with a lowest recorded final price of $3.74 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Oct 5, 2026 and ends Oct 5, 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 $3.74, from Oct 5, 2026 through Oct 5, 2026. The latest run records $3.74 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $4.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $3.74
  • Current list price: $4.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The Quiet Sleep at $3.74 in USD, with a listed base price of $4.99 and a -25% 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.
