This shows to be the all time lowest price for this game.

From the website: Long Journey Home:

There are a million worlds in the galaxy. Only one of them is Home.

It was supposed to be a short test run - a quick flight to Alpha Centauri and back. But when mankind’s first experimental jump drive goes wrong, a misfit crew finds itself trapped on the wrong side of the universe - alone, injured, falling apart. The only way back… is through.

Explore an endlessly shifting universe. Form alliances with strange aliens, from the noble Wolphax Knights to cruel-minded Ilitza slaver empire. Harness your crew’s skills in everything from research to archeology to diplomacy. Learn the laws of an often hostile universe, and make tough decisions that may change it forever. Do whatever it takes to get back to Earth.

The Long Journey Home combines the endless freedom of space with a new open questing system that always leaves you in command. Deliver the stranded Glukkt to his homeworld as he asks, or to your new slaver friends? Attempt to make allies with everyone, or pin your hopes on the tougher races, and hope they never turn on you? Jump by jump, make hard decisions and live with the consequences, in a universe that is never the same twice.

One mission. Endless adventures.

Where will your Journey take you?

• Endless Space - Explore a living, procedurally generated universe inspired by both classic and modern Science Fiction. Meet different aliens. Find different stories. Take different risks. Learn the secrets of the universe and with them, new possibilities.
• Hidden stories - Raid alien tombs full of traps and treasure. Compete in the galaxy’s greatest combat tournament. Find and research strange artifacts, and use your crew’s skills to find out whether that old skull is just a piece of bone, or the Holy Grail of an aggressive new species.
• A crew worth leading - Choose four out of ten experts, all with personality as well as specialties. Far from just stats, you’ll come to know them as they share their feelings, their fears, their excitement and their concerns on the trip and your decisions. Learn how best to use their skills to help the others… and who might be willing to sacrifice themselves to get the others back Home.

From the website: Holy Potatoes:
https://www.gog.com/game/holy_potatoes_were_in_space

Holy Potatoes! We're in Space?! is a roguelike, space adventure game with management elements and turn-based combat. Manage your very own spaceship and explore a procedurally generated universe with hundreds of planets to explore for resources, and enemies you can encounter for intergalactic space battles.

Encounter dozens of different space races, such as cosmic carrots, zany zucchinis, obnoxious onions, and even space whales! Take part in epic boss battles and save your grandfather, Jiji, who was incarcerated by the evil federation, The Eclipse.

• Craft hundreds of weapons for your spaceship
• Hire engineers to become part of your crew and man your ship
• Explore dozens of planets and galaxies, or why not explore the whole universe!
• Gather resources to upgrade your spaceship and craft weapons!
• Combat evil galactic broccoli and extraterrestrial carrot spaceships, and many others!
• Encounter epic boss battles!

Enjoy!

  The Long Journey Home is $1.88AUD here (mod: URL Removed by Request)

  That gets you a Steam key.

  Be sure to untick any boxes for extras (premium support check box in the shopping cart, and a VIP subscription in the checkout page). You can probably shave a few extra cents off if you play around with the currency, but I left it as AUD.

  I paid with Paypal and received my Steam key on the site instantly.

    Not an official.reseller. Keys come from risky and dodgy sources. Often not sufficient quantity.

      I plugged it into Steam a few minutes ago. It worked.

      Gamivo is fairly new (2019), and they don't seem to be the most ethical (auto-upselling you to unwanted services), but nothing a forewarned Ozbargainer can't handle.

      I registered on the site, but I don't think that you have to. If you do, then use a throwaway email (sharklasers.com), or one with good spam control (like gmail), because it would surprise me not at all if they onsold your details.

      Use a payment service that protects your details (Paypal and GPay were two of the half dozen or so services).

        It is more where those sites source the meys and how they are paid for.
        That's why they are banned from ITAD, Reddit etc.
        Often the keys are funded by stolen cards and accounts - if you get one of those it will be revoked and your whole Steam account could be at risk.
        Even if it sourced from a different region your Steam account is at risk as redeeming keys from a region that is not yours is against Steam's terms and conditions strictly speaking.
        Plus buying from those sites does not support devs especially if stolen accounts are involved.

          @Lysander: Thanks, that's good to know.

          I'd completely forgotten that reselling Steam keys is a popular way to launder money. I'd never heard of Gamivo, and my quick googling on whether it was legit didn't turn up that ITAD and Reddit had banned it. That makes me feel rotten.

          I'm not worried about losing access to my account or anything like that. I've done nothing egregious, and don't make a habit of dodgy purchases. According to SteamDB, there are Russian, Chinese, and Rest Of World keys for this game. I'm not sure which one I bought. I don't know the AppID of my purchase.

            @yak: If you are interested in the topic there is a post on Reddit about gray market sites/key resellers.

            One off purchases are probably not such a big deal but if you asked me I would not make those sites a big source for my keys (I don't use them at all in fact)

              @Lysander: Yeah, I've self-reported my initial post here and asked the mods to remove my Gamivo link (while keeping the rest of the post and this conversation intact).

              It's worth noting that Gamivo.com was recommended to me by Google Shopping while I was searching for The Long Journey Home's game reviews.

              (edit: Thanks Mod Team, that was quick)
