You wake in a surreal carnival, where a woman cries out to you before leaping to her death. Can either of you be saved? The denizens and devices of Strangeland answer with riddles, puzzles, and warnings of a Dark Thing lurking at the park’s peak. A new adventure from the creators of Primordia.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $4.49, set in October 2023. 28 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 10 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 13 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 9 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, DISTRAINT 2 ($8.99, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats Just Ignore Them ($3.99, scores 37).

Of the 359 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2021 to August 2026.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

The drop-off

84% start to 6% rarest

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

What players say

Visual and psychological masterpiece guiding player through despair. Many themes open themselves only when you look at them from a different angle.

What a gem! The settings, atmosphere and characters are eerie and the story is interesting. I also liked the game mechanics and the "0" on the payphone is an actually good help and seemed well balanced (in the cases in which I used it). Recommend!

Thankfully the puzzles were fairly guess-able for a point and click standard, and I really liked the vibe.
