The value story

It has been discounted 36 times in the 7 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 22 percent on value. It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. On the same math Children of Silentown ($19.99, scores 52) and Little Misfortune ($19.99, scores 59) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

Great artstyle, absolutely horrendous EN translation, I could barely follow the plot.

1 more review, not recommended
Though this game has some very nice art, I can't recommend it in its current state. The translation is stiff and at times simply wrong, referring to characters by the wrong sex amongst other problems. The text also overflows the dialogue boxes and goes off the edge of the screen sometimes, making it unreadable. Selecting the correct object on screen also involves finicky, annoying movement of the main character...
