The value story
December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $1.79. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 75 in the 7 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.
On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 65 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, HIVESWAP: ACT 1 ($7.99, scores 77) beats it on value, while it beats Mister Furry: Hot Muscles ($0.99, scores 58).
3 of the 383 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 231 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 7.7 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
