it was in several of the gamersgate indie bundles for much much much less than that, which is the only reason why it has any reviews at all.How about Devil's Whiskey? On Gamersgate at $25 and hundreds of reviews from buyers.
btw, the game came out 10 years ago, the original devs went kaputt and were desperate enough to sell all their rights off to declin's domain, which constantly struggles and almost went under a couple of times itself despite trying everything to minimize costs.
if anything, the game is a prime example on how not to price and release/advertise your game.
no big loss there, judging by the codex let's play.Like Winter Voices for example, whose devs went bankrupt last year despite being on Steam around the $5 mark.
also i am fairly sure that it was an episodic game and each episode was supposed to cost five bucks and be rather short, if i recall the let's play correctly.
either way it's a good example of the 5 bucks tag not being something that carries a game entirely on its own. people will not buy an uninteresting game even at 5 bucks, especially not an episodic one.
anyhoo, you could go into general gaming and read through the steam savings and indie bundle threads. they should give you a pretty good insight into how typical buyers behave and at which point they decide that it becomes worth risking buying a shitty game.
