The value story
It has been discounted 82 times in the 11 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 79 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is cheaper than 73 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. On the same math Adam Wolfe ($5.99, scores 80) and Adventure Escape Mysteries (free, scores 63) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
