The value story

October 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $9.99. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 27 in the 4 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $9.99 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

This sale is doing real work. 80 at list, 93 today.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Killer Frequency ($24.99, scores 67) and Castlevania Anniversary Collection ($19.99, scores 59).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $15.06. It costs $9.99.

Steam's global achievement data puts 54 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. 3 of the 575 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 130 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 2 percent of everything written about it.

At 11.1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

This game has exactly the right amount of eeriness that gets me tense for the whole playthrough without being too scary for my easily frightened ass.

This is a weird one for me. Not a big visual novel person, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I ended being fairly mixed overall on this one. The game makes a very strong first impression; the prologue is absolutely stellar. The pacing is great, the tone is tense and spooky, and it ends on a nice big crescendo to lead you into the meat of the rest of the game. Unfortunately I feel like the pacing then...
