Human life is wiped out. Earth is now a golf course for the ultra-rich. In this dystopian sports puzzler, play through destroyed brutalist monuments, crumbling shopping malls, and abandoned museums as you piece together the full story of how humanity fell.

The value story

December 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 53 in the 5 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 22 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Songs for a Hero - Definitive Edition ($14.99, scores 79) and Type:Rider ($4.99, scores 56) both outscore it.

This site sampled 498 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 497 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 42 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 2.1 hours; clearing it takes 6, which is 3.0 times the campaign.

At 2.1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
