The value story
October 2021 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. 56 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Past sales have already crossed the $5.15 BANGER line 25 times.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 9 percent on value. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Chants of Sennaar ($19.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Twelve Minutes ($24.99, scores 24).
Critics scored it 83. Players sit 9 points higher at 92 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
