The value story

October 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $20.99. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 21 in the 4 years tracked, about 12 weeks apart. Today's $26.24 at 25 percent off still sits 25 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Take the discount away and it is a 47. With it, 51.

Value puts it in the top 13 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Granny ($7.99, scores 62) beats it on value, while it beats Ad Infinitum ($34.99, scores 33).

Steam's global achievement data puts 44 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. 12 of the 684 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 169 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 6.2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say

8/10 I really enjoyed this game! Honestly, I expected it to be a lot scarier, but I actually liked the level of horror it had. The only thing that almost made me want to give up was some of the puzzles. A few of them were pretty difficult, to the point where I had to look up a YouTube video for help Other than that, it's a really good game. I liked it, had a lot of fun playing it, and definitely enjoyed the...

Short puzzle-style game. I loved it. If you're looking for more of a PT or Visage experience, this is NOT it. Just to be warned. This is much more puzzle than it is enemies. If you're looking for a more intense experience with actual constant enemy pressure, get Visage.
