The value story

The lowest price on record is $11.99, set in June 2026. It has been discounted 22 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales.

On value it sits in the top 20 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. Moss VR ($19.99, scores 57) outscores it, and so does Prince of Persia: Warrior Within™ ($1.99, scores 56). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 16 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 10.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 433 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 4 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 137 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Great game but it breaks and the fuse puzzle in the lump house CANNOT be solved. Read a million things about it and I'm so disappointed!' Obviously I can't get a refund cause I've played it for too long. Please don't sell broken games!' And YES I've used tutorials on YouTube etc with picture!! I have 13 fuses but one of them is not the right one.

I enjoyed this game. I liked the whole premise of the game and the solving of the puzzles. There is one section of the game where I cannot progress forward. The developers decided that you need to play a virtual drum set. I can't. I am unable to coordinate the virtual controllers along with the notes and get the timing exact and fail each and every time. There is no way to skip this part. There is no way for me to...
