The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.39, set in December 2022. 36 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 23 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $3.69 at 26 percent off still sits 54 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is cheaper than 85 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 74 percent. On the same math Death Must Die ($6.99, scores 71) and Halls of Torment ($6.66, scores 87) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Of the 641 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 246 reviews written there were positive, against 74 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 1.3 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 47, 36 times as much.

What players say

Dev spends more time arguing on forums then it does finishing a game. Hopefully it's kid is not in their custody because I can't imagine what a deadbeat bum ass Dad Xendra is. Also can never recommend ABANDONED games

Bad purchase. The game feels incomplete, and at least 1/3 of my playtime was me forcing myself to like the game.
SilvasterNot recommendedafter 8.5hApr 2026early accessRead on Steam
Game looks abandoned. Hasn't had an update in over 2 years and is still in early access. Don't buy
