The value story

It has been discounted 30 times in the 7 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 95 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Seasons after Fall ($1.49, scores 60) and Thank Goodness You're Here! ($19.99, scores 66) both outscore it.
