The value story

It has been discounted 48 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 60 percent, about 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 20 percent on value. It is pricier than 69 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 75 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Down in Bermuda ($19.99, scores 52) beats it on value, while it beats LEGO® Builder's Journey ($19.99, scores 44).

The drop-off

80% start to 12% rarest

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

I have no idea how i got so much value out of a 'find and click' game, but here you go. Maybe its because there is actually a small amount of strategy involved in terms of when to buy and when to sell? Whatever. It was worth the money, somehow. I literally cant explain why.

It's a combination of hidden objects, auctions and selling the items you found in someone's garage or backyard. First, you have to look for the items based on the required category (e.g. Games Memorabilia, Kitchenware) by travelling to different places and looking for the items that you feel are worthy of selling or can fetch a maximum bid in the auction. Then, you need to negotiate a reasonable price with the owner...
