The value story
May 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $1.24. Its cuts run 90 percent off as a rule. There have been 74 in the 7 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 80 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. The Beast Inside ($24.99, scores 48) and Granny ($7.99, scores 62) both outscore it.
Critics scored it 51. Players sit 18 points higher at 69 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

What players say
Game doesn't launch and has been like that for years now. Save you're money, it's not even worth it on sale since it's not worth $.01 because the game doesn't run and the dev will never fix it. It's been completely abandoned even though people have been complaining about for a long time.
