The value story

August 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. 52 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 9 percent on value. It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Buddy Simulator 1984 ($9.99, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats Left on Read (free, scores 55).

5 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 249 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 9.6 hours; clearing it takes 36, which is 3.7 times the campaign.

At 9.6 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

Sir Brante is a pretty wild stats based choose your own adventure story that does legitimately react to the choices that you make and results in meaningfully different outcomes. The writing is solid.
NutlawRecommendedafter 4.1hSep 2026Read on Steam
I can not recommend this game as it does not have basic qol features as skipping text you have seen already and quick save/load. Any curiosity you will have will punish you with 90% same text you have read already. I have spent at least 2 out of 8 hours played just redoing choices to get what i need for few decisions.
