The value story

September 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $0.89. 46 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 90 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 94 percent. Havendock ($19.99, scores 54) outscores it, and so does Oxygen: First Breath (free, scores 71). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

The main story runs 5.1 hours. Doing everything runs 16, 3.2 times as long.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
