The value story

The lowest price on record is $9.99, set in February 2024. It has been discounted 38 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 7 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, LISA: The Painful ($19.99, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats Just Ignore Them ($3.99, scores 37).

3 of the 437 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 131 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

At 10.1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

I originally got this for that old school let's play era nostalgia but the story actually ended up being fire

This game is... Weird. It's not going to be for everybody. There are some highly frustrating sequences, certain scenes border on thinly-disguised fetish content, and the brutality can be a lot to stomach at times. With all of that out of the way, this is an absolute masterclass in horror. I still remember playing the PSP release when I was a kid, and being awake all night long for days on end because I was so...
