The value story
December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $6.79. It has been discounted 16 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 3 percent on value. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, D'LIRIUM ($4.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Ad Infinitum ($34.99, scores 33).
79 from critics against 90 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Players rate it 90 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 82 percent. Something recent has soured the room. This site sampled 484 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 75 percent of the 182 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 12 hours. Doing everything runs 25, 2.1 times as long.
At 12 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

A masterclass in survival horror games. No cheap tricks using large, dark-coloured alien things jumping out suddenly and treating a brief startling as "scary", using ugly deformed creatures to fail at inflicting fear, you are up against the very tangible horrors of war itself and many games could do with understanding how presentation matters. I was locked in place seeing some of what was on display, The controls...
What a great metroidvania style top-down shooter. All around good experience of one of the worst times in human history. The only complaint I have is that the graphics can sometimes make it hard to parse some things in the world; whether they are useable items or just set dressing. But still a fantastic game.
