The value story

58 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 35 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Value puts it in the top 22 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. Little Misfortune ($19.99, scores 59) outscores it, and so does LUNA The Shadow Dust ($19.99, scores 53). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
