The value story

The lowest price on record is $9.99, set in June 2026. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 48 in the 5 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $14.15. The record reaches that level 28 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 3 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Finding Paradise ($9.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Heaven's Vault ($24.99, scores 58).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 8 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 10.2-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 632 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 3 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 316 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 10.2 hours; clearing it takes 22, which is 2.1 times the campaign.

At 10.2 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

I'm a sucker for romances, highly recommend this game if you love good story telling and ugly crying!

I don't cry. Genuinely I do not cry. I do not remember any time in my life that I have cried like I did when I finished this game. I do not exaggerate when I call this game perfect. I found this series when I was a kid and couldn't play this one since it wasn't on the app store (Edit: Looking at the release date it probably wasn't out yet lol). I'm so glad I found this game. I hope I never forget this series again...

A truly memorable and emotional experience. If you're looking for a narrative driven game featuring a small cast exploring a vast world, here it is.
