The value story
May 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $3.84. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 33 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 12 days ago. The math puts its BANGER price at $5.31. The record reaches that level 6 times.
On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Landlord of the Woods ($0.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Botanicula ($14.99, scores 68).
Of the 468 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 92 percent of the 1,095 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 1.8 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
8/10: it's a short, weird, and cool creepy puzzle game in a fun way. You're basically putting together bone-y little pieces while the game just sits there being unsettling and strangely cosy at the same time. PS: Best grabbed during a sale.
the perfect offbeat cozy game for a short gaming session. it slightly morbid, quirky, and so beautiful
