The value story

Across all 46 discounts in the 5 years tracked, the median cut is 60 percent, about 6 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $8.28. The record reaches that level 16 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 7 percent on value. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. On the same math Shadows Over Loathing ($22.99, scores 78) and CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience ($19.99, scores 70) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

Great story in a very interesting world. The companions are well written with complete character arcs that you influence. The alchemy gameplay is simple at first and in all story moments but is suprisingly complex by the end. The potions don't actually do anything other than a handfull during story moments and thats fine but the last potion feels like it should do something, especially since the way you make it is...

A fun and surprisingly in depth adventure: 1. Great and immersive world. 2. Fun and casual gameplay, although the difficulty doesn't at all match the story (for example some random optional training will be way more in depth and difficult than the "final boss" of the game but hey, obv gameplay is not the focus here). 3. Really well written and well voiced characters (especially the two male characters Michael and...

It is nothing special and not at all worth the full price. Get on sale if at all. The puzzle gameplay is fun though.
