About the game

Being a zombie isn't easy. At least your love is a zombie too. Adventure together around the world and solve puzzles, evade ghosts, eat humans and fight pirates. (Who are also humans, I guess...), all to find your beloved pets.

The value story

Across all 39 discounts in the 8 years tracked, the median cut is 66 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 119 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 88 percent. Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) ($14.99, scores 46) outscores it, and so does Zup! X ($1.99, scores 95). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
