The value story

It has never been cheaper than $9.99. That was September 2024. It has been discounted 21 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 11 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 10 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent.

3 of the 379 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2022 to August 2026.

At 9 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
