Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $5.19. That was June 2021. It has been discounted 62 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. The math puts its BANGER price at $6.71. The record reaches that level 7 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Great God Grove ($9.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Little Misfortune ($19.99, scores 59).

Of the 331 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 3.5 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

Better than LimboLane's follow up, both in mechanical navigation and concise-ity-ness. Short game, doesn't overstay its welcome, few secrets to miss, with a simple message about improving the lives of those around you. Great

I very much enjoyed this game. I loved learning about the people and figuring out the puzzle of making them happy!!! A delightfully weird experience. The bed is really something.

After wearing Jhariah merch that said something about teeth, an employee at a store recommended this game to me. And I'm glad they did because I loved it! It's art style is adorable, and I adore Dr. Habit :3 It can be a bit difficult at times to figure out how to interact with this or that properly, but it's a very forgiving game in my opinion. You can "sleep on it" to gather more clues, and the days are long enough...
