The value story

It has never been cheaper than $6.99. That was September 2026. It has been discounted 18 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 10 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 11 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Reigns: Her Majesty ($2.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats Big Farm Story ($19.99, scores 51).

Of the 429 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2023 to August 2026.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 4.2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

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

What players say

It's not perfect by any means, but for a short kinetic visual novel, it works fine. The UI / UX design is really interesting. I feel like some of the dialogues would've been better if they were cut short though. Some scenes also felt a little unnecessary, especially all the shouting. The beginning wasn't written well, but the second half of the game leading up to the ending was pretty good in my opinion. By the time...

Starts off compelling, then rather quickly becomes repetitive, predictable, and reveals itself to be as shallow as a puddle. Still, I do recommend it if you can get it on a hefty sale. (Like I did.) It's very colourfully vibrant and might be a nice refresher for you for the 6 hours of its runtime.

What if you had to perpetually live a single day in your life, over and over with no signs of it ever stopping? Loopers' entire story is presented around this premise. Taira (the protagonist) is a pretty straightforward guy. He lives each day of his life to the fullest without a care in the world. He is very good at enjoying himself (if you could call that a personality trait) and he knows how to get leisure out of...
