The value story

Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago. The math puts its BANGER price at $9.41. No recorded sale has reached it yet.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 5 percent on value. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, FlyKnight ($4.19, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats The Genesis Project (free, scores 61).

What players say
This game is good. Like, unfairly good. The mechanics, worldbuilding, and puzzles all tie together beautifully and seamlessly. The writing is excellent. It's like if you crossed Planescape: Torment with Blue Prince. The aesthetics are flawless. The only weak point is that there's no area map and the minimap rotates with you, so it can be hard to keep track of where you haven't been yet, which is a shame because you...
A fun, riddle-heavy dungeon crawler using words for everything. There's lots of little things to find by saying the right word in the right place. The riddles range from very easy to seriously hard, but there's plenty of hints both in the game and online if you get stuck and really want the answer. Has a great start and middle, drags a bit towards the end as combats become harder but not necessarily more...
I never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever want to experience this game's combat again. Every single aspect of it is just badly thought out and should have stayed theoretical. Typing as a combat system is a great idea, but the implementation here makes me wish I could delete this piece of software from reality.
