The value story
Across all 51 discounts in the 5 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $2.99 at 80 percent off still sits 33 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
On value it sits in the top 3 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Children of Silentown: Prologue (free, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats Lil' Guardsman ($19.99, scores 69).

What players say
A short little story game with some genuinely fun choices throughout. I liked both the mechanics and the story, and the way the game presents everything helped keep it engaging the whole way through. It's not super long or life-changing, but it's charming and easy to enjoy for what it is. I'd say it's definitely worth picking up if you can get it for under $5.

fun game about finding words between words. Cute graphics and game play is nice, i like how the girl moves between the text lines.
