The value story

The value story

46 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 87 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Detective Di: The Silk Rose Murders ($10.99, scores 60) and The Rise of the Golden Idol ($19.99, scores 71) both outscore it.

What players say

I know Eggnut is still on halting production on the series, but I know they are still around. If anyone reads this review then know that the end is a cliffhanger, and the story of the main character Howard Lotor is not done yet I know it for sure. There are other characters as well who's stories and endings have not been finished yet; including Howard Lotor. If anyone who were in Eggnut studios, RawFury, unreal...
