The value story
It has been discounted 67 times in the 7 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $4.49 at 70 percent off still sits 277 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 9 percent on value. It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Meadow - A Shelter Game ($6.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats ABZU ($19.99, scores 58).

Neat little game if you enjoy ocean themed stuff. I would've preferred it to just be a walking(swimming) simulator, as I found the controls kind of annoying and the puzzles amplified that whenever I had to backtrack or be more precise in my movement- and that becomes VERY annoying when a time limit element is added :( I do not want to be racing a clock in my comfy ocean game :( Aside from that though, the ocean...
The idea is good and admirable, the execution is annoying and eye strain inducing (colors and use of light). The puzzles are either cramped or way too large an area, similarly the collectibles are either shoved in your face, hidden in rewarding places(yay!), or so far off the beaten path you question if the developers were trying to pad playtime. The controls are alright, or they would be if the games hitboxes were...
