The value story
The lowest price on record is $5.99, set in August 2026. It has been discounted 32 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.
Value puts it in the top 12 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 75 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Ostriv ($24.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats Flotsam ($24.99, scores 53).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 6 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 22-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 8 of the 567 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 133 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

Enjoying the game so far, although I do get slightly lost in the navigation sometimes and have to do a bit of micromanaging that's preventing my inner hoarder from grabbing each and every item that floats by.

XD There is fun in unlocking and building new stuff, but figuring out all the mechanics for automating production can be a bit of...
