The value story

It has never been cheaper than $6.99. That was May 2026. 30 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 42 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Two Point Museum ($29.99, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats Two Point Campus ($29.99, scores 69).

This site sampled 722 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 8 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2023 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,213 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 321 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 23.9 hours; clearing it takes 92, which is 3.9 times the campaign.

Deck Verified, so no launch options and no controller remapping before it runs.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

This is what I can only describe as the most complete, incomplete game I have played in a while. Let's school is a sandbox tycoon simulator wherein you build a school, its facilities and run courses to help students graduate to their desired aspiration, which is a spot in higher education. TL:DR, I think this game is great, even if it likely will never be finished, it is in a good place as is and if you enjoy...

Let's School is a really fun management game with a surprisingly deep system. I really like how you can build and customize your school while also having to think about students, teachers, finances, facilities, and their overall happiness. The building and decoration options are especially enjoyable, and there is a lot of freedom in how you design your school. At the same time, the management mechanics give the game...
