For some reason there was no fuss or hype but its a darn good game.

It is the same price on GOG. https://www.gog.com/game/arcanum_of_steamworks_and_magick_obscura.
Seems it has been this price for a long time?
Probably because it has repeatedly been in GOG sales for $1.20 over the past few years. It was praised for being a very different feeling game for it's time. Unfortunately it's made by "Troika" who have a history of abandoning games with massive unfixed game-breaking bugs (save game corruption, critical NPC's get stuck, invisibility ring gets stuck even after removing it leaving you unable to talk / finish quests or use vendors, etc). Same thing happened to "Temple of Elemental Evil" by same dev. Combat is very unbalanced ("mage or go home", faster to kill someone with an old stick than a gun), etc, and UI is clunky as hell even for it's era.http://store.steampowered.com/app/500810/

This game regularly goes on sale below $2 on Steam. Don't risk your credit card information on dodgy third-party sites just to pay extra for a game.
Guess I'm thinking of a different game then.
