The value story

Across all 79 discounts in the 12 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 62 percent. On the same math Youtubers Life 2 ($19.99, scores 33) and Cookie Cutter: Overkill Edition ($19.99, scores 37) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

I love Winter Wolves Games, but this game is broken. Its got the schedule planning mini game within the VN like they do, except none of the scoring works right. Whether you play and event or not, its random if it will charge you money for things you don't get points for or add a few more points on top. You can't really plan the calendar. On easy mode you can't get the 600 to get the best ending. Do yourself a favor...
