The value story

It has never been cheaper than $3.49. That was February 2026. 28 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 41 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 74 percent. Among the games that feel like it, MADiSON ($26.24, scores 51) beats it on value, while it beats Agony ($14.99, scores 1).

Critics scored it 68. Players sit 10 points higher at 78 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

5 of the 529 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 30 percent of the 122 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.
