The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in November 2023. It has been discounted 62 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 66 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $7.49 at 75 percent off still sits 50 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Steam's global achievement data says about 6 percent of players ever finish it. On a 30.3-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see.
