The value story
It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was March 2026. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 18 in the 7 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 70 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Blair Witch ($29.99, scores 34) and Bad Dream: Coma ($8.99, scores 69) both outscore it.
Of the 639 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 353 reviews written there were positive, against 72 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 5 hours. Doing everything runs 11, 2.1 times as long.
