The value story

The value story

108 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Its score puts it in the top 15 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 74 percent of its genre. Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer ($10.99, scores 81) outscores it, and so does Adventure Escape Mysteries (free, scores 64). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

really liked the heavy setting and the way the story unravels. its point n click so of course it has some bongcloud puzzles, but nothing too crazy. i just hope no one ever calls me to bake cookies again, bc i would have a ptsd crisis.

Peak Microids. Make Still Life 3 pleassseeee Modern point and clicks are boring, I play this one every couple of years and love it so much. Nobody makes violent and f** up point and clicks anymore.
Wizard In BlackRecommendedafter 3.5hJul 2026Read on Steam
Reminds me of Black Mirror gameplay, Excellent story, bring a note pad and pen to play this game, you will be a detective and need to remember things. Gore, dark plot line, and an excellent sequel to 'Post Mordem'.
