The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was June 2025. 51 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. It becomes a BANGER at $2.88, a level the record has reached 20 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 3 percent on value. It is cheaper than 63 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Frog Detective 3: Corruption at Cowboy County ($4.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Pilgrims ($6.99, scores 67).

The press gave it 81; the people who bought it give it 95 percent. A 14-point gap in the buyer's favour.

1 of the 330 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 98 percent of the 875 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 67 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 1.1 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
