December 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $7.19. 18 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 25 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. No sale on record has reached $5.58, the price it would take to be a BANGER.

What players say
TLDR; This game is fun and special and unique. I suggest it completely. What works: +incredible attention to detail +humor is excellent +difficult without being grueling/still fun though frustrating +consistent mechanics that grow with you over time +gorgeous art style +achievements are not too hard to acquire if you are ready to talk to everyone and take every path. I'm super dilligent about this, so it seemed easy...
This is a truly wonderful game. There are so many details to every maze that keep it from being boring, and there are so many easter eggs and things to achieve outside of the collectibles in each level, which also enhances the quality of the gameplay. Truly a stellar game.
A cute mashup of hidden objects and mazes. It's clearly aimed at kids, but I still had fun.
