The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was October 2024. 36 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Past sales have already crossed the $2.90 BANGER line 7 times.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 97 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Kill It With Fire: HEATWAVE (free, scores 77) beats it on value, while it beats Unplagued ($3.99, scores 0).

Steam's global achievement data puts 54 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 590 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 16 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2021 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 619 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 1,003 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.

1.4 hours to finish it, 20 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 14 times the campaign.

the game is quite solid in the horror aspect, and the ai can infact trick you. however i just dont see the appeal of this game. the last change minor/major was in 2021. the game has been left to rot, and every gamemode features the same goal which is to escape. Additonally, making any progress in this game can be lost as the girl youre running from can suddenly just one shot you. and yes the progress is fully lost...
