The value story
The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in September 2026. It has been discounted 53 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today's $1.99 at 60 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is cheaper than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Pacify ($4.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats White Noise 2 ($9.99, scores 52).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 56 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written November 2022 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 491 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 52 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 56 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 2,810 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.
