Is this worth 5 bucks?

It's on Steam's Midweek Madness sale and I was wondering if it was worth this price. I could eat a pretty legit sandwich for 5 bucks. What do you guys think?

Ha, well I am hoping it is since I purchased it 2 hours ago for that price. Sounded like a great experience for a "game."

Yes. I paid price for it on release and I was still immensely satisfied.

Just played through it. Yes, I must say it is worth it.

I just finished it and I'm on the fence. The graphics are rather pretty, and the music is effective for lack of a better term. However, I wish it told a more comprehensible, well defined story instead of stringing together a bunch of random, nebulous anecdotes and expecting the player to form meaning out of bullshit. A rough story emerges regardless of what bits you get, but I think the game falls short of it's potential. It could have been an excellent, passively interactive short story; instead it comes off as an art experiment that succeeds in aesthetics, but fails in narrative. Just my opinion obviously, but ultimately I think I was more annoyed by it falling short of what I perceived was an enormous potential, than I was enthralled by it's visual and aural aspects.

Perhaps that's all moot given that the sale is over...

Thanks for talking it down some. Now when I eventually get it, I won't be expecting the greatest thing ever :)

I paid about that for it in the summer sale, and I was very happy with my purchase. Although that might just be because it references my hometown on several occasions. It has a very good ending, but you can still play it through a few times. Give it a go.

Fuck yeah it's worth 5 bucks. It has some of the most beautiful scenery you'll seen in a game, plus the ending is great.
