The value story
It has never been cheaper than $4.19. That was September 2026. It has been discounted 15 times in the 18 months tracked here, typically at 44 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today's $4.19 at 70 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
At full price it scores 71. The current cut is what makes it a 86.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Death and Taxes ($12.99, scores 73) and Beholder 2 ($17.99, scores 66).
The math says it holds its tier up to $6.24, and you are being asked for $4.19.

Spend 10 hours trying to find how to crack Michelle. Couldn't find it. Watch guides. Still couldn't do it. Have no idea what am I doing wrong. But determination wont allow me to stop. Would and will continue to try and find the way. 10/10
Foreword: I bought all 4 Beholder Titles. I played 1-3 Back-to-Back, I took a break and came into Conductor fresh. This was a pretty interesting design concept, because rather than people living within your building we now have Train Cabins and a sense of Urgency because what happens when people reach their designated stop?
