The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in June 2025. It has been discounted 31 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 33 percent off, with about 10 weeks between sales. The math puts its BANGER price at $2.98. The record reaches that level 6 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 3 percent on value. It is cheaper than 64 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Perfect Vermin (free, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats The Norwood Suite ($9.99, scores 58).

Of the 347 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 191 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 1.1 hours. Doing everything runs 3, 2.4 times as long.

The drop-off

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

I first learned about this game while playing one of the Haunted PS1 Demo Disk. I decided to check out the full version and was pleasantly surprised. It's not a very long game, but there's a lot of little hidden niches here and there to discover. The vibe and atmosphere is pretty on-point for me. It's a simple exploration game with a few minor environmental puzzles mixed in. All in all a decent experience

Atmospheric, unique, interesting. You'll need a guide to get all achievements however. Not a problem.
