The value story
The lowest price on record is $9.99, set in March 2023. It has been discounted 25 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.
On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Opus Magnum ($19.99, scores 88) outscores it, and so does Infinifactory ($24.99, scores 91). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 8 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On an 18.8-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 4 of the 372 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 124 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.
The drop-off

Yes the depth of some of them are not as deep as prior titles, but when you hit a...
Satisfying collection of puzzle minigames absolutely oozing with retro charm. The games are wildly different genres and difficulties so there's something here for everyone.
I imagine this isn't for everyone, but wow is it for me. Very, very fun collection of puzzle & puzzle-adjacent games wrapped up in a very aesthetically-pleasing frame narrative bow. I'm not super familiar with Zach's work but clearly I need to change that. I figured it would make the most sense to post my thoughts on each game individually, especially since other reviews don't seem to be breaking things down by...
