Out of Hands is a bizarre card-based adventure game that blends video-collage graphics with gripping psychological horror. Will you seek the truth lurking in this wicked, warped world—and can you bear its weight? Misty memories threaten to tear you apart, contorting you into a being... Out of Hands.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $13.49, set in February 2026. It has been discounted 13 times in the 18 months tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 7 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 9 percent on value. It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Paradise Killer ($19.99, scores 72) beats it on value, while it beats Children of Silentown ($19.99, scores 52).

85 from critics against 94 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

Steam's global achievement data puts 41 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. This site sampled 384 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 112 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 6.7 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

Played a fair amount of this game and its demo. The story and mechanics are fantastic and the *Initial* art style really set it apart from the swarm of other roguelike deck builder games out there.
