This game thinks it’s worth $28 on mobile

Asking nearly $30 in a world of free games seems crazy, but one company is doing it anyway.

Hakuoki, a Japanese visual novel game, comes to iOS and Android today with a $28 premium edition. The standard release of this samurai-themed romance story costs $3 and includes only the first chapter. Developer Gloczus says players can either spend $3 for each of the remaining 14 chapters or shell out $28 for the premium release, which includes a bonus chapter. Compare this to the current prices for premium games, with games like Infinity Blade 3 and Minecraft topping out at $7. That’s about the price of a decent steak dinner!
