What drives the score
How to read this
Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
The value story
September 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $6.59. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 26 in the 3 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Grimm's Hollow (free, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats Super Lesbian Animal RPG ($14.99, scores 87).
The math says it holds its tier up to $24.26, and you are being asked for $19.99.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 16 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 16.5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. None of the 305 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2023 to August 2026.
Deck Verified, so no launch options and no controller remapping before it runs.
