The value story

July 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 24 in the 2 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago. The math puts its BANGER price at $10.48. The record reaches that level 9 times.

On value it sits in the top 13 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 66 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Fear the Spotlight ($13.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Tormented Souls ($19.99, scores 67).

Steam's global achievement data puts 47 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. This site sampled 458 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 11 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2024 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 359 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 5.4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

I love this game so much! It has a unique artstyle, fun cast of characters, excellent pacing, lots of secrets, and a story that has stuck with me for years ever since I watched a playthrough for it. My only gripe is that the gun controls are clunky but the game on normal difficulty gives you plenty of healing and ammo so it at least doesn't feel punishing. Also, I can't stop mimicking the crow sound that plays when...

Loved this game! It was a great experience and totally worth the little time I spent in it. I`m trying not to replay games but I think this one deserves it, so take that as a good judgment.

Basically just Resident Evil without a poor 2nd half. Superb level design, amazing OST, combat that isn't half bad , scary ass enemies, and a solid story. Took 10 hours on Murder of crows and it kicked my ass towards the end but I loved every second of this.
