The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was February 2018. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 41 in the 11 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. It becomes a BANGER at $7.69, a level the record has reached 40 times.

On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 97 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, FAITH: The Unholy Trinity ($14.99, scores 71) and Amnesia: The Dark Descent ($19.99, scores 71), are both worse buys on this math.

78 from critics against 93 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

Steam's global achievement data puts 22 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15.
