The value story
It has never been cheaper than $10.49. That was September 2026. It has been discounted 24 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 45 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
On value it sits in the top 17 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Pathologic 2 ($34.99, scores 78) beats it on value, while it beats Ash of Gods: Redemption ($24.99, scores 35).
30 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 430 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 58 percent of the 374 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 16.6 hours; clearing it takes 40, which is 2.4 times the campaign.
