About the game

Paradox Soul is a chilling fight for exploration and survival; a Metroidvania pixel action-shooter hybrid!
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory. Windows only.

The value story

89 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.79 at 84 percent off still sits 61 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is cheaper than 79 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. On the same math UNSIGHTED ($19.99, scores 69) and Ghost Song ($19.99, scores 55) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
