The value story

100 discounts in the 12 years on record, a median of 90 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 85 percent. On the same math Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit ($19.99, scores 66) and Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut ($9.99, scores 61) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Its just the gameplay that's frustrating. Exploring the hospital which is the main gameplay loop, is just frustrating as it can be confusing going from one room to the next in the 2D perspective vs when you look at the map.
