About the game
Chionophile is a very short experience about the mood of winter in the woods.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 6 GB of memory, NVIDIA GTX 780 or AMD RADEON RX 470, 2 GB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $0.34. That was July 2023. 55 discounts in the 6 years on record, a median of 51 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $0.74 at 25 percent off still sits 118 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Value puts it in the top 6 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Exit 8 ($3.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats PLAYNE : The Meditation Game ($14.99, scores 60).
