The value story
It has never been cheaper than $2.99. That was November 2018. Across all 45 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 60 percent, about 4 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 40 percent on value. It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre. On the same math Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek ($14.99, scores 52) and Enigmatis 3: The Shadow of Karkhala ($14.99, scores 64) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
