The value story

October 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $4.72. 26 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $4.72 at 57 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

This sale is doing real work. 69 at list, 75 today.

Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Game Dev Story ($2.96, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats SimAirport ($24.99, scores 51).

Finishing takes 10 hours; clearing it takes 24, which is 2.4 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 10 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
