Refunds16 of 398 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

The value story

June 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $3.00. 28 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 9 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 89 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, The Cabin Factory ($2.99, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats Blair Witch ($29.99, scores 34).

This site sampled 398 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 16 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2021 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,656 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 20 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 2,273 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 75 percent of everything written about it.
