The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was October 2024. It has been discounted 9 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 16 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 88 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Oxenfree ($9.99, scores 72) beats it on value, while it beats The Casting of Frank Stone™ ($29.99, scores 6).

This site sampled 533 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 3 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2023 to August 2026.

Finishing takes 6 hours; clearing it takes 17, which is 2.8 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 6 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
