The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was December 2024. 61 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 8 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Papo & Yo ($14.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats Call of the Sea ($19.99, scores 54).

Critics scored it 76. Players sit 13 points higher at 89 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Steam's global achievement data puts 26 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. This site sampled 553 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 41 percent of the 147 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

At 9.8 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

Completionist review: Difficulty-wise to 100%, it's a 6/10. There are missable achievements and the game doesn't have a formal replay chapter system so most of that is just attributed to being tedious rather than hard. Most achievements just entail checking absolutely everything in the map before proceeding (obvious most of the time what action causes a procession to the next chapter) and there's one particular...

Beautiful story, long-term puzzles, and a world that is beautiful to see. Only down-side is that some of the puzzles are so long term that it can be difficult to know what comes next
