The value story
June 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $4.49. It has been discounted 17 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 12 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 20 percent on value. It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Spiritfarer®: Farewell Edition ($29.99, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats BOKURA: planet ($3.56, scores 35).
9 of the 493 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 231 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 287 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 34 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
story wise, amazing the duck part, hate it , story of the ducks and resolution, amazing the goat part, terrible , story wise, lol same, i just made the same with the ducks and didnt feel the emotional impact Art style is great, appreciate the offer, the best part of the game beside the story is to have time to talk to your friend at a chill pace. Gameplay can be improved
Artworks good, story seemed good if you call it a story, Controls are absolutely terrible, multiplayer just stopped working freezing repeatedly when trying to launch again after it stopped working
