The value story
August 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $2.49. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 9 in the 14 months tracked, about 8 weeks apart. Today's $3.99 at 20 percent off still sits 60 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
This sale is doing real work. 91 at list, 96 today.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 68 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. Among the games that feel like it, Chill with You : Lo-Fi Story ($11.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats 20 Small Mazes (free, scores 81).
The math says it holds its tier up to $6.93, and you are being asked for $3.99.
