The value story
70 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 70 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 95 percent. Adventure Escape Mysteries (free, scores 63) outscores it, and so does Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek ($14.99, scores 52). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
The drop-off
73% start to 22% 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
This is a decent game. The main guy is hilariously expressionless but the voice acting and story are both good. The hidden object puzzles are fun and while there are a few repeats of minigames and it gets old after a bit, they were also good.
