The value story

The lowest price on record is $13.49, set in December 2025. 23 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree ($39.99, scores 38) beats it on value, while it beats Enotria: The Last Song ($39.99, scores 18).

4 of the 212 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2024 to August 2026. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
