The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was June 2025. It has been discounted 61 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. The nearest things to it, Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride ($14.99, scores 65) and Donut County ($12.99, scores 64), are both worse buys on this math.

15 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 6,095 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 65 percent of everything written about it.
