The value story

October 2018 is where it bottomed out, at $0.49. 58 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 20 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 18 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, House ($9.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Decarnation ($14.99, scores 59).

Inside the two-hour refund window, 93 percent of the 273 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.

GOLD MEDAL-İt is fun? Yes it is replayable? Yes. İt is good? Yes, it's good game and suggested if you like Retro,Fighter(İncluding combats) game,Story/Plot or horror(Don't worry it's not very scary) So overall The mainly what makes game is good is Music,Plot and Combat for me. Although would've more better games if there was more joke<)
