A mysterious trip to gorgeous and surreal lands, players explore the unknown and harness mystical powers which have been hidden in the valley for centuries.

The value story

85 discounts in the 12 years on record, a median of 90 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 69 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 86 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Proteus ($9.99, scores 32) and MANDAGON (free, scores 86) both outscore it.

What players say

I'm well versed in walking simulators, in slow meditative "game" experiences, and it feels like this attempt misses the mark. The tone is strange, starting off sarcastic and legitimately funny, but then forcing a player to slowly plod across vast, empty, although admittedly beautiful landscapes. I just got the vibe that there wasn't much there.
