Indie developer Inkle has set the price of its new game TR-49 at $7 as an experiment to encourage spontaneous purchases amid a crowded market. Narrative director Jon Ingold explained that this approach aims to prompt an immediate 'jump in' mindset among players. The game, released on January 21, has seen strong initial sales, marking Inkle's most successful launch in over a decade.
