The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.59, set in October 2020. Its cuts run 44 percent off as a rule. There have been 57 in the 6 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 33 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 68 percent. On the same math Find Yourself ($6.99, scores 51) and Summer of '58 ($8.99, scores 61) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Of the 605 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 416 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 31 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

78% start to 7% rarest

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

The door is locked, and the place is unnervingly quiet. The horror feels like it's seeping from the walls themselves. A short, sharp, tightly focused psychological horror experience.
