The value story

Across all 71 discounts in the 6 years tracked, the median cut is 40 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Value puts it in the top 14 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Grimm's Hollow (free, scores 93) outscores it, and so does WitchSpring3 Re:Fine - The Story of Eirudy - ($19.99, scores 75). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
