The value story

Across all 22 discounts in the 6 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 135 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 26 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 76 percent. When The Past Was Around ($7.99, scores 75) outscores it, and so does Papetura ($11.99, scores 59). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

The art is great but the plot didn't make much sense and the music / background sound was annoyingly repetitive. I also struggled to find the logic in the game play, so I often got stuck not knowing what to move or click even when I noted the clues. There was a hint function, but that should be needed only for the most challenging mini games, not simply moving from one task to the next.
