The value story

The lowest price on record is $12.99, set in December 2025. 24 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart. $4.49 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.

On value it sits in the top 10 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tinkerlands ($12.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats Cinderia ($17.99, scores 56).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 4 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 2.2-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 379 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written November 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 89 percent of the 454 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 2.2 hours. Doing everything runs 40, 18 times as long.

The drop-off

Steam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 2.2-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements
