The value story
It has never been cheaper than $2.99. That was June 2022. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 38 in the 5 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $4.99 at 50 percent off still sits 67 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 50 percent on value. It is cheaper than 62 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Emissary Zero ($4.49, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats Occult ($4.99, scores 25).
10 of the 450 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2022 to July 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 36 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 72 percent of the 375 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 43 percent of everything written about it.
