The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.49, set in March 2023. It has been discounted 41 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 86 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 61 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, No Place Like Home ($19.99, scores 48) beats it on value, while it beats Call of the Wild: The Angler™ ($29.99, scores 11).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 12 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 2-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour.

The main story runs 2 hours. Doing everything runs 5, 2.4 times as long.

I probably would have finished it much faster had I read one of the guides but I was most of the way there. I ended with 2800 money at the end which I guess suggests I caucht more fish than needed by some way. The fishing mechanics are a mixed bag but far from bad just not as simulator as some other muchlarger games. If...
