The value story

July 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $6.59. Its cuts run 67 percent off as a rule. There have been 55 in the 7 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 8 percent on value. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Raji: An Ancient Epic ($6.24, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats The Pathless ($39.99, scores 46).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 7 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 5.5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 2 of the 232 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026.

The drop-off

92% start to 7% finish
050100rarestfirst achievement

Steam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 5.5-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements
