About the Game
A dark mystery adventure where a boy with a prosthetic face uses a handheld device to speak with the dead.
Sally Face - Episode One is a single-player adventure from the independent developer Portable Moose, and its store tags place it squarely in the adventure and indie space. You follow Sally, a boy wearing a prosthetic face, through a dark story that begins after a series of mysterious murders. Sally and his three close friends slowly realize that their town is covered by an evil gloom, and the mystery deepens as you investigate.
The core loop revolves around Gear Boy, a handheld device that lets Sally communicate with ghosts. By talking with the dead, you listen to their stories and piece together what happened, which is the heart of the experience. The puzzles are selective and challenging, and your choices reveal new plot threads as you progress, so the way you approach each problem shapes what you learn about the town.
The setting draws on 1990s cartoon channels and the author's own nightmare experiences, which gives the game an uneasy, dreamlike tone. The store description highlights strange characters and odd touches such as ponies, and the art, design and music were all created by one person. That single-creator approach is a big part of why the presentation feels so personal and distinctive.
For practical purposes, the game supports Steam achievements, full controller support, Steam Cloud saves, trading cards and Family Sharing. If you enjoy slow, story-led investigation with a strong personal voice, this is a title that rewards close attention.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy story-driven mystery adventures with a heavy atmosphere will likely connect with it, especially if they like piecing a plot together from conversations. Fans of strange, handmade indie games with a strong personal voice will get the most out of its odd, distinctive style. It also suits anyone who prefers playing with a controller, since full controller support is included.
Not Recommended For
Players who want fast-paced action will find little of that here, because the game is built around talking, listening and making puzzle choices. Anyone uncomfortable with dark themes should skip it, since the game is flagged for adult content. Players who dislike puzzles that depend on choosing the right option may find the experience frustrating.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Sally Face - Episode One carries the Steam label Overwhelmingly Positive (壓倒性好評 in Taiwan Steam wording), with 97% of reviews positive across tens of thousands of reviews. That is the top tier on Steam's review scale and points to a very strong reception from players who have reviewed it.
Steam's labels are calculated from the percentage of positive reviews and the total number of reviews, so a high positive share backed by a large review volume is a reliable signal. Smaller games with far fewer reviews can swing sharply, but this volume gives a stable picture. Reviews still reflect personal taste, so reading a few recent comments on the store page can help you check whether the tone matches what you are looking for.

These are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Right now Sally Face - Episode One is NT$ 33, which is 50% off its regular price of NT$ 66. Our records show the game has been discounted often, with the deepest cut reaching 68% off, and the lowest paid price we recorded was NT$ 21 on 2026-08-17.
Our price record is still short, so treat any verdict here as tentative. The current price is not our recorded low, and we have not recorded any free-to-keep promotion for this game. Its price in our records has ranged from NT$ 21 up to the full NT$ 66.
Whether now is a good time depends on your patience. At NT$ 33 the game is already well discounted, but since the lowest price we logged is lower still, waiting for a deeper cut could pay off. If you want to play it now, the current price is a reasonable entry point, and a wishlist alert is a sensible middle path given how often discounts appear.
