Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones

Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $8.74. That was August 2026. Its cuts run 35 percent off as a rule. There have been 21 in the 2 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 20 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Dream Machine: Chapter 1 & 2 ($3.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats SILT ($14.99, scores 39).

80 from critics against 89 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

11 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 391 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

At 4.1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

I enjoyed it but I genuinely don't know how to describe this game. It feels like the game is trying to make you uncomfortable and confused on purpose and somehow it works lol. Definitely not a game I'd recommend to everyone, but it's worth giving a try. 7/10

Playing this game is like watching a A24 Horror movie that a bunch of people really like and you can't really understand why. This isn't really a game that you play, It's more like an experience that you sit through and sometimes interact with. I get what they are trying to go for with the theme. But most of the time I was either bored to tears by the tedious gameplay or just confused by the weird scenes, dialouge...
