The value story

October 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $19.99. 15 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $19.99 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

This sale is doing real work. 49 at list, 59 today.

On value it sits in the top 11 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Life is Strange Remastered ($39.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Life is Strange: True Colors ($59.99, scores 47).

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 15 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 235 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 11.2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

Each character is unique and it's clear they've spent time on fleshing them out to make them feel relatable and human. The...

Absolutely masterpiece Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. Similar experience from Life is Strange, but this game made me in love. High recommended!

Had a really good start. I really enjoy the characters and the story is good but the gameplay is unbelievably boring. There's little to no cutscenes and long sections where the characters are just talking, making it really boring. I'm sure the game gets better later in the story but the gameplay just made me not want to play
