About the game

Somewhere along the venerable Route 7, in the middle of nowhere, you will find Joe’s Diner. The old Diner was built on the site of a former Indian cemetery. Amongst the buried, two rival chieftains are laid to rest; while alive each could not stand the other.
Description from the Steam store page.

The value story

65 discounts in the 12 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 6 weeks ago.

It is less well reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. On the same math Passing Pineview Forest (free, scores 17) and Agony ($14.99, scores 1) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
