Evidence ledger
Every published claim needs a trail. Primary sources establish product facts. Third-party signals provide dated context. Unknowns remain visible instead of being filled with generated guesses.
S01 Primary
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: Release date; developer and publisher; features; achievements; languages; Windows and macOS minimums.
Boundary: Does not supply recommended specs, benchmarks, or repair solutions. Steam Deck status is sourced from S07.
S02 Primary
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: Wishlist milestones, demo review milestone, development updates, and public feedback history.
Boundary: Milestones are publisher self-reports; they are not sales or retained-player data.
S03 Secondary
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: Timestamped player peak, review snapshot, supported-system cross-check, and record-update time.
Boundary: Volatile third-party snapshot; not sales, search volume, or income.
S04 Secondary
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: Competition-supply check: eight visible guides during the captured session.
Boundary: Community guide claims were not used as facts about game mechanics.
S05 Research signal
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: Worldwide, past-30-days relative search-interest comparison against two candidates and GPTs.
Boundary: Relative index, not absolute volume. Exact long-title query can understate broader ReStory searches.
S06 Primary data
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: Current release state, Windows/macOS flags, categories, nine-language list, 50-achievement total, and DLC App ID.
Boundary: A locale-specific API snapshot. Prices and review totals are volatile and are not reproduced as evergreen claims.
S07 Primary
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: August 6 launch, launch-time Steam Deck Playable status, Mac launch, update intent, and publisher-reported known issues.
Boundary: Roadmap timing and sales milestones are publisher self-reports, not guarantees or independent audits.
S08 Primary
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: Current total of 50 achievements and public achievement names.
Boundary: Does not establish a complete, tested unlock walkthrough; global completion percentages are volatile.
S09 Primary data
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: DLC identity, English language, platform listing, release date, contents, and official installed-files access instructions.
Boundary: Regional price is volatile and omitted. The artbook is separate DLC, not part of the base-game claim set.
S10 Primary
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: August 6 launch timing, day-one macOS release, and the publisher's Steam Deck Playable—not Verified—status statement.
Boundary: A dated publisher launch statement; it is not a first-hand performance, battery-life, or control test.
S11 Primary
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: The publisher's dated launch issue list and statement that the first update was in progress.
Boundary: An announced fix is not a shipped fix. Issues move to fixed only after an official patch note or a versioned first-hand retest.
S12 Primary
Checked: 2026-08-10
Supports: The live DLC product identity, description, release date, platform presentation, and installed-files access instructions.
Boundary: The live page can vary by region. Price is intentionally omitted and platform flags are cross-checked against S09.
