This thread is for discussing the current top 5 download lists.

That's unusual, but not unusual that it's one of Orchard's games.

Also, it seems that the "change from last week" download meters are broken. When did that happen?

Well it's quite unusual for Purgatory. The only Orchard game that had frequent downloads on CP used to be Boundless Ocean for the last some weeks until Missing and Purgatory came out of nowhere as if some random person posted a link to them in a big gamer forum.

Orchard's games are advertised everywhere.
Missing was one of the top Indie adventure games on some site and that gave it massive kudos as well as a big boost to Orchard's reputation.

It's likely that somebody linked to Purgatory in a thread on some other indie games site (probably in a discussion about Boundless Ocean).

Proper advertisement will get you a lot of attention.

[Rya.Reisender]

A lot.

A large majority of these new hits are coming from the following links (Note: Given I am currently at the office, I have not clicked these links and am unsure of the content):

Wow. Now we know where Bloodlust can gain huge popularity... Not a good kind of popularity, but it would likely topple Missing quite easily.

Um TMC, since I rejoined the community Purgatory was NEVER on the Top 5 until now. Missing was only at place 5 if on the top 5 list at all. The only game that is permanently place 1 was Boundless Ocean for the last some weeks unless someone uploading a new game like Fluffy Bunnies and Love.

If I recall right it's usually more like:
1.Boundless Ocean (between 10 and 20 hits)
2.Some new game
3.Some new game
4.*
5.*
* - one of those: FUABMX, Sword of Jade, Missing or Final Fantasy H

But yeah Gurochan explains everything. Chan communities are really powerful (in fact they even go after Scientology these days, if you read the news you might have read about it, it's usually referred to as "Anon vs. Scientology").

Oh yeah forgot to mention Barely Legal Bitches in my last post.


I personally think hourly downloads aren't needed at all. Why would somebody want to know if people download his game at 4pm the most? Weekly and monthly (or even over the year) would be way more interesting.
