Painful Smile - all studio games and prices

Titles in our catalogue: 6. The list covers releases where Painful Smile is credited as developer, regardless of who published them. To search by publisher, use the separate publisher filter.

Open any title and you will see every active offer across over 40 stores, both official ones and keyshops, cheapest first. The listed price is final, fees included and any discount code already applied.

The price history chart on each game page shows how the price moved, split between official stores and keyshops, with the all-time low listed for both groups. If the current price sits far from that low, set a price alert.

The developer makes the game, the publisher funds it, releases it and sets the price. Sometimes they are the same company, more often they are not, and then the studio has no say in what its game costs or when it goes on sale. So a list of Painful Smile titles can span very different pricing policies: that is decided by whoever published, not by whoever built it.

A list of one developer's games reads differently from a genre list. A genre tells you what you are playing, a studio tells you how it is made: the same solutions, the same difficulty curve, the same way of telling a story come back between titles. If one Painful Smile game clicked with you, the odds that the next one will are noticeably better than for a random entry from the same genre. We keep a separate list of titles sitting at their historical low right now, worth a look if one of this studio's games is on it.

A large production rarely comes from one place. The lead studio handles the game itself, but console versions, the PC port, a remaster or an expansion are often made by someone else, and then both studios are credited. Companies also rename after an acquisition, so older and newer titles from the same team sit under two separate entries. The Painful Smile list therefore shows what the data credits, not the full share of the work.

Not necessarily, because price is set by the publisher, not the studio. An older title from the same team can hold a higher price than a newer one, if a different publisher handled it or if the newer one reached discounts sooner. The price history on each entry shows how low that title has gone before, which is a better reference point than the release date.
