The value story

The lowest price on record is $7.99, set in June 2026. 24 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 45 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Finding Paradise ($9.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Cats and the Other Lives ($19.99, scores 61).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $21.33. It costs $19.99.

This site sampled 790 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2024 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,656 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,078 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 398 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say

I usually make silly, unserious reviews with few words yet i think this game deserves a bit more than that, i haven gathered the courage to finish it entirely, but even tho i just barely scrapped the surface of it, it resonated with me more than i would like to admit, i love this game and the characters and story in it, worth its entire price and every minute i spent playing.
