The value story

61 discounts in the 12 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 10 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 92 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Fuga: Melodies of Steel ($39.99, scores 69) and Lost Eidolons ($34.99, scores 22) both outscore it.
