The value story
It has never been cheaper than $2.39. That was June 2025. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 23 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
It is less well reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. We Were Here (free, scores 76) outscores it, and so does We Were Here Forever ($17.99, scores 77). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
1 of the 647 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2022 to September 2026. In its first 30 days on sale, 1 of 491 sampled reviews came from a refunder. Inside the two-hour refund window, 8 percent of the 315 reviews written there were positive, against 24 percent overall, and those are 39 percent of everything written about it.
