Global unlock shares from Steam’s own achievement percentages, read on 15 Sep 2026, ordered most common first. The finish rules (beat the game, completed the story, final boss, credits, epilogue and their variants) matched no name or description, so the funnel has no finish step rather than a guessed one. Shares are of players who have the game on their account, as Steam counts them. How this is computed. Data by SteamPeaks.com.

Do streams move Shepherds of the Abyss?

Every game How this is computedNot sampled

Shepherds of the Abyss is not in the Twitch ring: viewers are sampled every 10 minutes for the hundred most played games and every watched game (375 games since 3 Sep 2026), so there is no viewer series to set against its players yet. Watching the game adds it to the ring.

Best Time to Play

When Shepherds of the Abyss is busiest

How this is computedHourly sample 20 Sep 2026, 10:00 UTC

Needs four weeks of hourly samples, 3 on file (167 hourly rows since 6 Sep 2026, 07:00 UTC). The weekly activity job writes the profile once 4 distinct weeks fall inside its 8-week window; the fourth week of samples begins on 21 Sep 2026, so the heatmap can appear with the job’s first run after that.

Every game How this is computedCurves computed 20 Sep 2026, 10:24 UTC

Shepherds of the Abyss’s monthly averages begin in Jun 2016, more than two months after its 18 Nov 2016 release, so its series is not a launch curve and the job leaves it off rather than measure from the wrong start. The cohort’s own curve is shown.
