The value story

November 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. 34 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo ($19.99, scores 49) beats it on value, while it beats The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me ($39.99, scores 3).

3 of the 534 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2021 to August 2026.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 6.1 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

Yes, especially if you enjoy narrative games...

No offensive but I found this game boring and depressing. I had to uninstall it.
