Holding it back
Reviews67% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach350K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
Refunds38 of 800 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0

The value story

33 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 40 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 16 weeks ago.

It is cheaper than 73 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 73 percent. On the same math Occult ($4.99, scores 25) and Phasmophobia ($19.99, scores 88) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

More about Fear Therapy

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 38 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 795 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 89 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 38 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 1,841 reviews written there were positive, against 67 percent overall, and those are 51 percent of everything written about it.
