The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in December 2025. Its cuts run 62 percent off as a rule. There have been 38 in the 4 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 45 percent on value. Among the games that feel like it, Incantation ($9.34, scores 38) beats it on value, while it beats Atlas Fallen: Reign Of Sand ($39.99, scores 25).

This site sampled 402 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2022 to August 2026.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 7.3 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
