The value story
August 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. 21 discounts in the 2 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. The nearest things to it, Adventure Escape Mysteries (free, scores 63) and Unforeseen Incidents ($19.99, scores 58), are both worse buys on this math.
