The value story

111 discounts in the 11 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.62 at 79 percent off still sits 24 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is cheaper than 83 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, To the Moon ($9.99, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats 再刷一把 PlayAgain ($8.99, scores 15).
