The value story
It has never been cheaper than $14.99. That was September 2025. Its cuts run 35 percent off as a rule. There have been 26 in the 4 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart. No sale on record has reached $5.32, the price it would take to be a BANGER.
Value puts it in the top 9 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Dark Fracture: Prologue (free, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats Silver Chains ($24.99, scores 16).
Steam's global achievement data puts 45 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 33 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2022 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 599 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 927 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 2.2 hours. Doing everything runs 19, 8.6 times as long.
At 2.2 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
Pros: A solid gig for a couple of weeks (in-game time), supportive employer, good onboarding process. Cons: job becomes a routine waaay before "100 embalmed" achievement, there is only enough content to cover an optimized run, not endgame grind. And I kinda wish there was several more interactive encounters.
One of the best horror games I've played in years! The atmosphere, spooks, demonic lore, and complex embalming process keeps me coming back ^^ Got me looking behind my back irl lol
