The value story
The value story
24 discounts in the 7 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 15 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 16 weeks ago.
Its score puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. The nearest things to it, Happy Room ($2.49, scores 82) and Mutilate-a-Doll 2 ($9.00, scores 64), are both worse buys on this math.
$30.76 is where it would stop being a BANGER.

What players say
In the game's official discord server, the developer and admins are making fun of the situation and the people who have been seriously affected by the ongoing issues with the workshop taking zero accountability besides "don't use mods" and "we disabled the workshop again" instead of putting any effort into making mods safe to use. Incredibly unprofessional and disgusting behaviour. This game is not worth purchasing...

unfortunately due to a third virus hitting the modding scene in under a year, i can not recommend this game. Yes the game is fun, but it is just not worth possibly getting a virus from the workshop. This new one takes the cake and is genuinely destructive torwards your computer, i no longer feel safe even just having a vanilla copy of this game on my pc. As someone who programs, i understand zooi's frustrations with...
The game had a second malware attack AFTER the developer reassured players that it was safe. I simply don't want to take chances with getting my data stolen which I can't afford since I'm not a kid anymore. It's not about the chump change it costs. The Developer simply shouldn't have the money if his product not only doesn't work as intended but also hasn't took precautions to make the players safe. The fact that i...
