The value story
Across all 45 discounts in the 4 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 70 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Riven ($20.99, scores 68) and Call of the Sea ($4.99, scores 75) both outscore it.
