The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was May 2025. 49 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. It becomes a BANGER at $7.56, a level the record has reached 17 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer ($19.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Blacksad: Under the Skin ($19.99, scores 53).

82 from critics against 94 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

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. None of the 387 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 101 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 6.9 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
