The value story

Across all 57 discounts in the 9 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 16 percent on value. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Moss VR ($9.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) ($14.99, scores 46).
