The value story
Across all 22 discounts in the 8 years tracked, the median cut is 65 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 222 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 69 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Call of the Sea ($4.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Nephise Begins ($0.99, scores 11).
The drop-off
67% start to 30% rarestNo achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
What players say
Imagine sitting down and someone shows you a abstract picture, they ask you what you see. You say you see a sharp tooth. They then say you were wrong that It's actually an eye. That is this whole game. It can be enjoyable when you see what the devs intended it to be, but really frustrating when it fails to give you that point of view. I will go against recommending it for the full price.

Finding this in my backlog, I thought I'd bash it out and see what happens. I started out looking forward to playing the game, but it didn't take long to feel bored and unimpressed. First off I'd have to say the visuals weren't as great as the screenshots on the store page make it out to be - overall it was pretty dull and seemed mostly to be shades of browns, greens and greys. There is a thing where you can light...
Awesome Puzzle Game ... if you like Games like The Vanishing of Ethan Carter etc. than its the perfect Game for you. The atmosphere, the music, the little details ... the complete Game is so beautiful and catched me to play 7 hours straight till the end :D
