The value story

The value story

March 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. 51 discounts in the 12 years on record, a median of 90 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 74 percent. Alchemy Mysteries: Prague Legends ($1.99, scores 52) outscores it, and so does Adventure Escape Mysteries (free, scores 64). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
