The value story

It has never been cheaper than $10.99. That was June 2026. 14 discounts in the 17 months on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $8.94. No recorded sale has reached it yet.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Roottrees are Dead ($14.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Detective Di: The Silk Rose Murders ($10.99, scores 60).

The press gave it 82; the people who bought it give it 96 percent. A 14-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Of the 349 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2025 to August 2026.

What players say

I don't normally review a game after only a couple of hours on it, but I've seen enough of Kathy Rain 2 to know its not for me. The first big problem is this is clearly a female character written by a man. And a man with a very poor grasp on how women speak. 'Id rather cut of my left tit" is an actual piece of dialogue by Kathy. Its just very very obnoxious. Just loads of clicking on items to hope they have some use...
