The value story
It has never been cheaper than $20.29. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 31 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 32 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks. The math puts its BANGER price at $26.08. The record reaches that level 23 times.
On value it sits in the top 8 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Baldur's Gate 3 ($59.99, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats Life is Strange Remastered ($39.99, scores 64).

All our times have come Here, but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the Reaper Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain (We can be like they are) Come on, baby (Don't fear the Reaper) Baby, take my hand (Don't fear the Reaper) We'll be able to fly (Don't fear the Reaper) Baby, I'm your man
Nihihi probably my favourite yuzusoft work tied with sanoba witch. The setting does a lot for me even though the quality of the routes was inconsistent heard good things about limelight lemonade jam looking forward to that getting an english tl eventually
Cafe Stella is on the upper end of YuzuSoft games but it is still overall pretty mediocre like most of their games. Now, I'm not saying it's a bad experience, it's actually perfectly enjoyable. But in terms of overall themes and writing competence, this is again pretty milquetoast and bland. As per usual they have a really interesting setting and backdrop for everything but really the game is just about telling...
