The value story
It has been discounted 16 times in the 3 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 13 weeks apart. Today's $2.79 at 30 percent off still sits 75 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Would love if they made more like this or if it could at least have an endless mode, but as Zipp would most like say, "You get what you get, so quit complainin'!" Thanks for keeping it real Mister Zipp. "How many times do I have to say it!! NO MISTER ONLY ZIPP!" Remember...

Not quite the sum of its parts. I think it comes down to the writing. Or the translation?
I can't recommend this game. I am already forgetting what the story was about while writing this review. So I need to write this quick! -The final decision is extremely pointless and insulting to the player. The game asks you to make a choice, but one option feels completely idiotic. It feels like the game needed a "bad ending"(if it can be called that way) button and they added one. When playing, you understand...
