The value story

The lowest price on record is $5.19, set in September 2026. Its cuts run 35 percent off as a rule. There have been 48 in the 5 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $2.91. No recorded sale has reached it yet.

Value puts it in the top 12 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, When The Past Was Around ($7.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats The Search ($3.99, scores 30).

Critics scored it 73. Players sit 21 points higher at 94 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

This site sampled 560 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 94 percent of the 3,451 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 70 percent of everything written about it.
