The value story
It has never been cheaper than $3.99. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 36 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 55 percent off, with about 4 weeks between sales. Today's $4.59 at 77 percent off still sits 15 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Take the discount away and it is a 90. With it, 96.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Cattails | Become a Cat! ($3.44, scores 93) and STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life ($39.99, scores 33), are both worse buys on this math.
The math says it holds its tier up to $26.21, and you are being asked for $4.59.

OMGG it's basicly a lesson for the challenges in your life. There is also RIDDLES! And FIGHTING AND ACIVMENTS I...could go forever.
I love how amazing it is! the story and everything is perfect! it feels like I'm actually playing in a warrior cats game :D!! (Especially since I got an amazing deal for it ^^!)
I adore this game. It takes everything I loved about the original and improves or expands it tenfold. The cat recruiting system makes the world exploration and hunting/foraging feel worthwhile, and allows you time to slowly get to know the cats in your colony. The building customization is so fun, and I spent probably too long creating my little home and town, heh. All the dialogue with the colony cats is fantastic...
