The value story
The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in May 2026. It has been discounted 48 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, I Am Bread ($12.99, scores 41) beats it on value, while it beats Only Climb: Better Together ($4.99, scores 0).
Steam's global achievement data puts under 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 6.2-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 25 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 316 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 25 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 701 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 24 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 6.2 hours. Doing everything runs 14, 2.3 times as long.
