It sells for 190 yen.","whyItMatters":"The giveaway is run by developer ALMNHALI itself, not Epic's weekly free-game program, which puts a 190-yen indie in front of the store's audience on the developer's own initiative.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe free period started October 25 and runs until 2:00 on November 2.
