The value story
It has never been cheaper than $0.89. That was June 2025. 15 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 18 weeks apart.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 80 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. The nearest things to it, My Singing Monsters (free, scores 79) and Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator ($8.74, scores 45), are both worse buys on this math.
On this data it would still be a BANGER at $7.36. It costs $2.99.
Of the 348 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 91 percent of the 215 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 24 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 6.4 hours. Doing everything runs 14, 2.1 times as long.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 6.4 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
