It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 26 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 12 weeks between sales. The math puts its BANGER price at $6.38. The record reaches that level 15 times.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, House ($9.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Gray Dawn ($19.99, scores 46).

Steam's global achievement data puts 75 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 404 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 316 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Revealed truth and mystery unto me about the inner workings of the world and the futility of my being. Also made me repeat through the same loop multiple times and had annoying route blocks denying you from trying certain things for no reason. The game does provide a nice fast forwarding button that still felt a little slow to me, though. Certainly enjoyable, but a tad overpriced for something that feels like a high...

A game where I can confidently say, without even joking, I met Michael Jackson and watched him cut my head open with black magic AND got my neck snapped my MC Ride but then converted my soul into his and became him to then become one of the Devil's first soldiers. This would make such a kickass manga

This game oozes style. It's leaking out of my computer, it's melting my desk. The fumes are intoxicating.
