The value story
The lowest price on record is $8.74, set in May 2026. It has been discounted 51 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. It becomes a BANGER at $9.28, a level the record has reached 4 times.
On value it sits in the top 20 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, SuchArt: Creative Space (free, scores 92) beats it on value, while it beats Cafe Owner Simulator ($18.99, scores 11).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 2 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 7.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 395 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 90 percent of the 455 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
The main story runs 7.6 hours. Doing everything runs 29, 3.8 times as long.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 7.6 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

The feeling of 'you can do no wrong' was so alien to me that it somehow overrides my imposter syndrome, makes it feel absurd. Why would this game include an undo function? There are no mistakes here. Throw a board on the floor and hit it with a blowtorch and a glitter cannon. The world applauds...
As a disabled artist, this game has honestly been a godsend. There are days I can't sit up to work on my irl projects but my brain desperately needs to create. My laptop can't handle most digital art programs and a lot of art games are pretty limiting and don't quite scratch the same itch, but this one does! The color and tool selection is great, the tools react as you'd expect, and you have complete freedom in what...
