The value story

It has been discounted 34 times in the 4 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 35 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is less well reviewed than 75 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Dear Esther: Landmark Edition ($1.99, scores 35) and We Were Here Together ($4.93, scores 58) both outscore it.

Not much of a story but looks/runs good overall and is well polished and put together

Even before reading that this was developed during the pandemic I assumed it was one of 'those' games. Atrociously terrible. Just that. Terrible.
