The value story

July 2013 is where it bottomed out, at $0.74. 19 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 55 percent off across all of them, roughly 19 weeks apart.

It is less well reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. On the same math Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist (free, scores 84) and Thirty Flights of Loving ($4.99, scores 8) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

More about Dinner Date
