The value story
It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was July 2025. It has been discounted 25 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $4.99 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is cheaper than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 76 percent. Pan'orama ($13.99, scores 76) outscores it, and so does Townscaper ($5.99, scores 69). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
This site sampled 546 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 15 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 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 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 21 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 384 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 40 percent of everything written about it.
