The value story

33 discounts in the 7 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 68 percent. On the same math Dead Age ($14.99, scores 57) and NEO Scavenger ($14.99, scores 75) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

Very fun to play with the puzzles, but not a ton of ability to replay. Unless you play as dogs. The dogs are good.

giving it a positive but with some notes. The game is way too difficult even on normal difficulty. The interface is unintuitive and acts in a way contrary to what you would think. I've put a decent amount of hours in and still frequently press the wrong things. If there is capital S strategy, I'm not getting it. The game is hard but doesn't give you any tools to improve. Nothing is explained or tutorialized which is...

After playing this game on the apple arcade (shame it's not on mobile) I've honestly had a great time with it. It's not only a turn based strategy game but an effective story telling game where your choices matter. It's sweet and simple, and doesn't try to be something it's not. I'd say it's worth the money and especially if you have a steam deck, as this is a fun game for travel.
