The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.19, set in June 2026. It has gone on sale once in the 3 months tracked here, most recently in June 2026.

On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 73 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Finnish Cottage Simulator ($14.99, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats Bootstrap Island ($24.99, scores 53).

8 of the 375 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 679 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 90 percent of the 530 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 35 percent of everything written about it.
