The value story

June 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $12.49. It has been discounted 41 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

On value it sits in the top 13 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Red Matter ($13.74, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats I Expect You To Die ($24.99, scores 56).

83 from critics against 96 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

None of the 344 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 116 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.
