The value story

The value story

It is less well reviewed than 88 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. We Were Here (free, scores 76) and Escape Simulator ($9.99, scores 82) both outscore it.

It is still busy. 4 players were online when we last checked, on Nov 7, 20:48 UTC, across 42 days of weekly checks.
