The value story
The value story
June 2018 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. Across all 55 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 4 weeks apart.
It is less well reviewed than 86 percent of its genre. Eldritch ($14.99, scores 67) outscores it, and so does BPM: BULLETS PER MINUTE ($19.99, scores 76). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Woke up with a pistol in hand and a newfound fear of doors. My therapist says this is progress. I call it Tuesday.

Paranautical RNG Madness ! Paranautical Activity is a not so bad FPS/Roguelike hybrid from 2013. This game combines the classic FPS formula from the 90s with some difficulty and total randomness of more modern rogulikes to a rather mixed but still somewhat decent results. Did i have fun with this game ? Yes , i did. Was it frustrating most of the time ? Yes , it was. Did i like the game overall ? Yes , i did. So...
For a nearly decade old roguelike, it's pretty fun. As many have said, the genre has already been improved upon significantly since launch, but this game stands out thanks to its voxel aesthetic, plus it has some really cool secrets. Dev screwed themselves by sending death threats to Gabe Newell, and imo that should not be overlooked but looking at the game for what it is, it's a pretty fun time for 10 bucks.
