The value story
The lowest price on record is $2.62, set in October 2025. 45 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 66 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 12 percent on value. It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Yume Nikki (free, scores 87) outscores it, and so does Little Misfortune ($19.99, scores 59). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
Critics scored it 81. Players sit 9 points higher at 90 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Of the 631 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 908 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.
At 2.1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

Fever dream, im not smart enough to understand all the possible symbolism, ill watch a yt video on that. Amazing game overall (SPOILER WARNING BTW.) The ending was not happy at all, i was fooled for about a few seconds, i thought it was going to be sweet. Im distraught.
Happy Game is a creepy, puzzle point & click adventure. While it was a short game, it offered a fun experience in the limited time it had me. The graphics were different & I quite liked it compared to most games that look the same these days. The story was mediocre but the puzzles were quite fun. All in all I enjoyed the game quite a bit & definitely worth it on sale. 6 / 10
From the studio that brought you the light-hearted CHUCHEL, comes Amanita's first horror game. Jokes aside, for their first attempt at a horror game, this is pretty well executed. There's little jumpscares in this game (kinda lied but wtv) because Amanita scares you with it's gory visuals and sick and twisted humour. Plus, it gives you a nice little main character to sympathize with. Overall, this is a pretty good...
