Isnt this a mobile game?

[Joseph]

Am I missing something? I thought this was a mobile game? Why is it priced so high? Or am I thinking of a different game.

It was an Apple Arcade exclusive, which means it was made for iOS. Not inherently mobile, though mobile devices could run it.

but how much did it cost on app store? i'm guessing not $50.

it's a remaster of the original with 4k rendered dioramas, a new normal mode, and voice acting. it's not half-assed voice acting either, pretty much all the story dialogues and sidequests are voiced now.

the original had no "price" as apple arcade is subscription-based

Apple Arcade is a subsciption service, there's no per-game cost.

Yes it is, welcome to 2025. Mobile Games are real games and often times even better than Tripple A games.

I'm just trying the demo and the first area looked okay, bit grainy but acceptable, into the first town and... ♥♥♥♥ it looks awful. Just a blurry mess. Them claiming the diorama are in 4k is just a lie and if the rest of the game looks like this... Don't think I'll bother going any further than the demo until the price fits (so a lot, lot lower)
