The value story
The lowest price on record is $1.27, set in May 2026. It has been discounted 73 times in the 8 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today's $1.59 at 90 percent off still sits 25 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Take the discount away and it is a 71. With it, 89.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. The nearest things to it, Beholder ($1.39, scores 86) and 60 Seconds! ($8.99, scores 62), are both worse buys on this math.
The math says it holds its tier up to $7.43, and you are being asked for $1.59.

What players say
10/10 would spy on strangers again. the game is weirdly hypnotic, but also dangerously easy to get bored of. suddenly your brain just goes "okay, i've fed enough monkeys for today."
Such a great concept with an even better execution. It's voyeurism (all very PG-13, mind you) at its finest, while challenging you with a plethora of scenarios that test your morality. As your player character themself is struggling to stay alive and make enough money to get through the week, are you willing to earn abit more cash to make your life easier, but in exchange, potentially sabotage or hurt someone you...
This game was good. I don't think it was incredible, but it had a good hook to get you into it. I feel like its a game you can explore if you want to play it through multiple times, there are many little storylines to unwind. The resource management of money, health, food, sleep, and the actual gameplay was not for me. The ending felt very abrupt, but maybe that was to encourage replayability.
