The value story
47 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $3.74 at 85 percent off still sits 50 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

I can get all the achievements easily only need to do the story twice. The story sometimes a little bit confusing to navigate how to get to the location and because there is not much info about this game in the internet, you really need to read the story line, or you won't...
One of the more charming and heartfelt games I've played, with a nice graphics style and fun fishing and cooking mechanics. The lore is also really nicely done.
