The value story
November 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $4.89. It has been discounted 25 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today's $5.24 at 25 percent off still sits 7 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, The Farmer Was Replaced ($9.99, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats Fantasy Map Simulator ($5.99, scores 63).
The math says it holds its tier up to $24.20, and you are being asked for $5.24.
