The value story
It has never been cheaper than $9.99. That was August 2026. It has been discounted 25 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 6 weeks ago. Past sales have already crossed the $10.86 BANGER line once.
Value puts it in the top 3 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Outcore: Desktop Adventure (free, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats Carto ($19.99, scores 72).
This site sampled 398 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 91 percent of the 266 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

This is the game you play after doing your benchmarks on your new system and...
I wanted to say that I can't recommend this game, but somehow I just can't bring myself to say it. The game is pretty repetitive and boring, but it's clearly made with heart. Fans of the series will probably appreciate it. For 3 hours, it's a decent game.
Can't recommend. Puzzles aren't challenging enough. Repetitive tasks. The game gimmicks are very cliche, so it's easy for anyone. The mood in this game isn't serious enough to raise concern, and not chill enough to make you feel good: Poor main storyline with the police. Moomintroll is either missing or held captive most of the game. I hoped for more mini games and fun adventures, but this game is too serious, and...
