The value story

It has been discounted 32 times in the 3 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $8.74 at 65 percent off still sits 40 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 46 percent on value. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 62 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Two Point Campus ($29.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Honey, I Joined a Cult ($21.99, scores 30).
