The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.99. That was June 2023. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 60 in the 6 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, The Pale Beyond ($19.99, scores 61) beats it on value, while it beats Shortest Trip to Earth ($25.99, scores 43).

The press gave it 67; the people who bought it give it 80 percent. A 13-point gap in the buyer's favour.

1 of the 451 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026.

HowLongToBeat players log 5.4 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 22, 4.1 times as much.
