About the game
The description from Steam and the story of the game are available in Italian on the Italian page.
Steam price
Price check of November 11, 2026 on Steam Italy (euros). The lowest price is the lowest one Statcade has seen since it started tracking the game (November 10, 2026), not Steam's full price history; free-to-keep periods do not count.
Game signature
Peak at 22:00 · low at 09:00 · the peak is 1.6 times the low
The 24-hour curve as a circle: midnight at the top, the radius is the number of players in each hour (Italian time), the gold dot is the peak hour.

When to play to find the most players
Insufficient data. There are already 233 hourly readings, but at least 150 of the 168 hours of the week need data (121 so far, 29 missing). Ready around November 16 (estimate, at the reading rate of the last 7 days).
How we calculate it
Every hour we record the players online on Steam. We convert each reading to Italian time (daylight saving time included), average each hour over all days and then average each 3-hour slot (00–03, 03–06, … 21–24). Hours in which the reading is anomalous for the whole catalogue are excluded. Players come from all over the world, not just Italy: the slot shows how many people are online on Steam at that Italian time.
