The value story

81 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 70 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

On value it sits in the top 40 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 62 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek ($14.99, scores 52) and Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden ($14.99, scores 57) both outscore it.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

It's an okay game, but it was a bit short for the price and it doesn't seem to have a bonus chapter. A lot of people are cross about the choices and the achievements. Personally, I'm not too bothered about the achievements, and while the choices aren't all they're cracked up to be, they're not a negative either. Not the best of Artifex Mundi but not the worst either.

It tells a story of grief and love and what people do to try to deal with those feelings, and, frankly, it's rather sad in a good way. None of the hidden object...

I think this game is the best one in the trilody of Eventide. Goood ol' puzzles and nice hidden object segments. The art is nice, story is good, additionaly choice mechanic gives replayability for achivement! Music was such a hit too! This is where the positives end. HOWEVER: You need to play this game twice in a row for an achivement, this isn't fun to force the player to replay against their will. Unfortunately...
