Velocity

+0.002

CreepyDates Velocity, last 14 days: falling across 14 days, 0.00 to 0.00 (low -0.00, high 0.01).

Confidence 50%

Confidence is the share of Velocity’s four components that could be measured for this game, scaled down again when there is less than a fortnight to measure over. Here, comments and ratings had a measurable acceleration on 2026-10-16. Topic views did not. We also have itch.io chart positions for it, which is the fourth component. It was observed on 14 of the last 14 days. How this is computed.

Which counter moved first

Lead and lag

30 days

Ratings are running ahead of comments.

By the average day in this window, comments had taken 38% of their change and ratings 49%. That is the reverse of the order the signal is built on — the audience arrived before the attention did, which reads as a game being found rather than one breaking out.

Lead and lag for CreepyDates, 30 daysLead and lag over 30 days, 2026-09-18 to 2026-10-17, each series scaled to its own change so the timing can be compared. Ratings are running ahead of comments. Furthest apart on 2026-09-24, 29 points between ratings and comments. Comments: 2,602 to 2,659, up 57, most of that change came late in the window. Ratings: 1,932 to 2,018, up 86, the change came at a steady pace.100%50%0%-14%Sep 18Oct 1729 pts apartCommentsRatings

Each line is scaled to its own change across these 30 days, so counters that differ by orders of magnitude can be compared by shape. The vertical gap is what matters: a line higher on the left took its change earlier. The real counts are in the legend, and the day-by-day numbers are below. The axis runs past its ends because a counter went beyond its final value inside the window and came back — a deleted comment, a withdrawn rating. The scale is widened rather than the curve clipped, so the round trip stays visible.

A blank change is not a zero: the scoring pass refuses a window whose nearest observation is too stale to compare, rather than differencing two points that are not seven days apart.

Last devlog 2026-05-15 — 155 days ago. That was already the most recent devlog when we started watching on 2026-08-20, so there is no cadence to read from it yet. The platform publishes only the most recent devlog date, so this is a floor rather than the project’s history.
