The value story

Across all 40 discounts in the 4 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Smalland: Survive the Wilds ($34.99, scores 56) and Creativerse ($24.99, scores 49) both outscore it.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

This is now absolutely my cozy game... Clean graphics, AMAZING sound design, and an absolutely pristine soundtrack. Despite the risk of death and being able to fight and kill things, it's incredibly relaxing to gather items and make potions... Also very fun to avoid getting hit. lol Play this game. Short and sweet. You won't regret it... ...Also, hug Solomon. He really does need that hug, when you really think about...

Fun game to learn, play, and unlock the story of. Liked the end game area and fight as well.

Save your money and play the demo. The demo contains half (not even joking) of the explore-able maps. There are a few smaller maps that contain bosses or stores, but where you will spend most of your time is in the the two large ones collecting resources between storms. The game loop consists of collecting resources from the explore-able maps crafting potions to sell for gold to hire NPC's and buy cleansing...
