The value story

It has been discounted 88 times in the 11 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 70 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. On the same math Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek ($14.99, scores 52) and Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden ($14.99, scores 57) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

The story is mediocre and it is a point to focus on because there are few differences among games of this genre...

Man the Princess/Queen looks so damn bored! Even when you get to the end of the game after all the events... She is like "MEH." That aside, game okay. The bad guy constantly repeats same things over and over again. The husband is useless. The MC/Fairy did more work... The mage only did that one thing and gave an answer. That grandma is a bit freaky... Uhm really... There isn't much to say apart from... "IT'S not...
