32 discounts in the 11 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 8 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 82 percent. Shadows of Doubt ($24.99, scores 59) outscores it, and so does My Friend is a Raven (free, scores 74). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

One of my all-time favorite games. I played it too long ago to write a detailed review, but I owe it a thumbs up, because the game has lodged itself in my brain for far longer than I thought it would. This isn't a point-and-click, but it's an adventure game in the truest sense of the word. The town reminded me of playing as Deku Link in Majora's Mask as a kid, wandering around in awe and confusion at all the strange...
There's really nothing like this game, I wish I could play it for the first couple of times again to experience the feeling of mystry and helplessness at the beginning. You eventually become a master of its world, but the beginning is very difficult. Progressing on your own, exploring the secrets, and uncovering parts of the story is such an amazing feeling. The world and atmosphere is something that stuck with me...
