The value story

The lowest price on record is $4.99, set in March 2025. It has been discounted 39 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Until Dawn™ ($29.99, scores 40) and The Casting of Frank Stone™ ($29.99, scores 6).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $59.94. It costs $49.99.

5 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 1,155 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.

It came out 6 years ago, and 602 were online in it when we last checked, on Sep 26, 07:45 UTC.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

Bro, this game is something else... I've played sad games before, but this one hits completely different. It made me cry more than once, and I'm not even the type of person who usually gets emotional over games. You actually get attached to these characters. You care about them, you suffer with them, and some moments just stay in your head. I don't even know how to explain it properly. The gameplay can be confusing...
