The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was August 2026. It has been discounted 33 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 28 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 73 percent. On the same math Grimm's Hollow (free, scores 93) and Ikenfell ($19.99, scores 74) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Of the 461 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2022 to August 2026.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 6 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
