The value story
June 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $14.99. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 20 in the 6 years tracked, about 13 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 14 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Gato Roboto ($7.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats 8Doors: Arum's Afterlife Adventure ($19.99, scores 42).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 19 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On an 8.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 4 of the 439 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to August 2026.

At 8.1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
