The value story

It has never been cheaper than $3.99. That was April 2025. It has been discounted 28 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 10 weeks between sales. Today's $3.99 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Take the discount away and it is a 66. With it, 78.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 96 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, POSTAL Redux ($8.99, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats Trepang2 ($29.99, scores 55).

Steam's global achievement data puts 37 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 383 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 14 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2021 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 205 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 516 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 51 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Game feels somehow cosy despite how grimy it is, just wish it had more content. Perfect Christmas game.
