The value story

The lowest price on record is $8.99, set in March 2026. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 31 in the 3 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago. No sale on record has reached $4.29, the price it would take to be a BANGER.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 8 percent on value. It is pricier than 78 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Machinika: Museum ($7.99, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats Doors: Paradox ($14.99, scores 61).

This site sampled 554 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 129 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
