It has never been cheaper than $15.99. That was September 2026. It has been discounted 18 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 11 percent on value. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 86 percent.

21 of the 603 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2024 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 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 199 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 170 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
