The value story

24 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Value puts it in the top 23 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Submachine: Legacy ($24.99, scores 72) outscores it, and so does Landlord of the Woods ($0.99, scores 95). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

This is the kind of weird world that draws you in with its uncanny atmosphere and logic-based puzzles

It's a pretty cool game, the artwork and the music are just fantastic! The game consists of many puzzles which will walk you all around the map. The map is huge and has a lot of areas, so make sure you take some notes along the way. Keep pen and paper ready, you'll need it for the puzzles!

I finished the game but still don't know what's going on, some puzzles don't even have any hints and they took a long time to solve.
