The value story

June 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $18.74. 11 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 20 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 31 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 68 percent. Psycho Patrol R ($39.99, scores 63) outscores it, and so does Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut ($1.99, scores 89). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

This site sampled 713 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 38 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 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 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 232 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 456 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

This game has done something to my brain that i can never recover from. I crave the feeling this game gives every night I'm out of the house. The atmosphere is worth the price alone. The setting and music are amazing. Love this game, even with the jank it brings.

great game though the creators not the best person if you can get past that then go for this game one of my favorite older graphics shooters
azazelvr5Recommendedafter 3.5h5 found this helpfulearly accessRead on Steam
idk man its one of the best games ive ever played, objectively it has some issues which are purely technical due to game being an indie project, but i cannot be objective towards it sorry. The weapon variety is insanely good, even outdone stalker and cruelty squad, you have pieces ranging from soviet stechnik and vsk vykhlop to hk g11 and walther wa 2000. The writing, story, lore are great, like idk maybe this kind...
