The value story

It has never been cheaper than $7.79. That was April 2026. Its cuts run 45 percent off as a rule. There have been 39 in the 4 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 3 days ago.

Value puts it in the top 8 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Among the games that feel like it, LISA: The Painful ($19.99, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats Ash of Gods: Redemption ($24.99, scores 35).

This site sampled 235 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written January 2023 to August 2026.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
