The value story
The value story
50 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 60 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 61 percent. The Sexy Brutale ($19.99, scores 62) outscores it, and so does Through Abandoned: The Underground City ($5.99, scores 35). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

This game had me absolutly gripped. The story comes together in such a unique and interesting way. The puzzels are fairly straighforward dispite some other reviews, however things dont always go acording to plan. The Shining carpet in the hall was a really nice touch.
"12 minutes" times more than I care to admit that I'll never get back. The game was fun at first but quickly became frustrating after running out of ideas or leads of what to try to get the game to progress.
