The value story

April 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $23.99. It has been discounted 13 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 13 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 15 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Ikenfell ($19.99, scores 74) outscores it, and so does Super Lesbian Animal RPG ($14.99, scores 87). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Steam's global achievement data puts 27 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. 1 of the 470 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2021 to August 2026.
