The value story

Across all 49 discounts in the 5 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 4 weeks apart. Today's $0.74 at 75 percent off still sits 174 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is cheaper than 79 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math The Suicide of Rachel Foster ($1.79, scores 26) and The Novelist ($4.99, scores 38) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
