The value story

It has never been cheaper than $18.39. That was July 2026. It has gone on sale 2 times in the 4 months tracked here, most recently in October 2026. Today's $18.39 at 20 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

At full price it scores 55. The current cut is what makes it a 58.

Value puts it in the top 9 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Mortuary Assistant ($24.99, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats Reentry - A Space Flight Simulator ($34.99, scores 57).

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 30 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2026 to October 2026. In its first 30 days on sale, 17 of 274 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 48 percent of the 344 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.
