The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.49, set in May 2021. 69 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 4 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 7 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 64 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games closest to it, Munin ($4.99, scores 61) and SILT ($14.99, scores 39) both come in lower.

Of the 591 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 725 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 31 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 1.7 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

If there hadn't been a walk-through there is no way I would have known what to do in this game. Even in the places where I could tell I needed to interact with items, the controls were so clunky I thought I was wrong and walked around wondering what to do. I ended up having to keep referring to the walk through the ENTIRE time, which for a 2 hour game is pretty ridiculous. I like the aesthetic and the messed up...
