The value story

March 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $19.99. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 15 in the 2 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $19.99 at 60 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Take the discount away and it is a 15. With it, 20.

It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 77 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Life is Strange: True Colors ($59.99, scores 47) and Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered ($39.99, scores 45) both outscore it.

7 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 35 percent of the 342 reviews written there were positive, against 68 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
