The value story

December 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $7.49. It has been discounted 40 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

On value it sits in the top 26 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Deliver Us The Moon ($24.99, scores 53) beats it on value, while it beats Lifeless Planet Premier Edition ($9.99, scores 40).

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 154 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 8.2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
