The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in September 2026. 47 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 6 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 64 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. The nearest things to it, Obduction ($29.99, scores 43) and Hyperbolica ($12.99, scores 49), are both worse buys on this math.

This site sampled 254 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2021 to July 2026.

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
