The value story

August 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $7.99. It has gone on sale once in the 61 days tracked here, most recently in August 2026. It becomes a BANGER at $11.70, a level the record has reached once.

On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games closest to it, Life is Strange: True Colors ($59.99, scores 47) and Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered ($39.99, scores 45) both come in lower.

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 13 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 434 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.
