The value story

The lowest price on record is $14.99, set in August 2023. 46 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 35 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Against the Storm ($29.99, scores 85) beats it on value, while it beats Norland ($29.99, scores 53).

17 of the 614 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, 59 percent of the 201 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.
