The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in June 2022. Across all 23 discounts in the 6 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 7 weeks apart.

It is cheaper than 63 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. The Medium ($49.99, scores 46) outscores it, and so does Fran Bow ($14.99, scores 83). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

Hold it little buddy and listen to what Sonic has to say about this game. The loading screen lasts around 1 to 3 minutes and this game is full of them.

Fragile Review: Great Intentions, But Like a Potato in a Microwave I really wanted to recommend Fragile.

But after streaming it, both my viewers and I agreed that the symbolism felt like someone throwing a brick at your head. One moment you're horrified by organ harvesting, and the next, you're...

This game can be a bit rough to get through as the danger segments are unforgiving, but it isn't what I would call "hard". The game tells a story regarding the subject of trafficking, which is always uncomfortable, but for a lot of people in the world a very real threat. A highlight is that this game is very cinematic considering its length, and does a good job at being unsettling. This game is worth playing 100%.
