KAMI is deceptively simple: fold out coloured paper to fill the screen in as few moves as possible. Relaxing and easy to pick up, you'll soon find yourself deep in contemplation to perfect each puzzle. Created by State of Play, famous for their handcrafted aesthetic, KAMI has been created with real paper in an elegant Japanese theme.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.79, set in June 2016. 31 discounts in the 13 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 18 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Pictopix ($6.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Coloring Game: Little City (free, scores 80).

Inside the two-hour refund window, 94 percent of the 248 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 36 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 2 hours; clearing it takes 5, which is 2.3 times the campaign.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
