It has never been cheaper than $9.99. That was December 2020. 38 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Grimm's Hollow (free, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth ($69.99, scores 67).
Steam's global achievement data puts 33 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15.
