The value story

October 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $3.99. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 25 in the 4 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart. Today's $7.49 at 25 percent off still sits 88 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

This sale is doing real work. 64 at list, 68 today.

On value it sits in the top 3 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 67 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games closest to it, Unplagued ($3.99, scores 0) and Nuclear Nightmare ($1.39, scores 52) both come in lower.

28 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 3,844 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

3.2 hours to finish it, 7 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.2 times the campaign.

What players say

Very good game with nice graphics. It wasn´t too scary, but it was fun to play with friends. Therefore I don´t think it would be the same playing alone. Maybe if you want to speedrun, because then it probably would be faster to finish. What I liked about playing with my friends was, that everyone could interact with almost anything, which made the game painfully stressful, Imagine you almost completed a level which...

Graphics are really impressive and make the Backrooms feel much more realistic and creepy. Compared to Escape the Backrooms, it has less levels but more detailed environments, lighting, and overall visual quality. Really fun.

My kids and I had a blast with this one. Over the course of about 7 different play sessions, we beat it. Team work is necessary and the jump scares are rather timid at best. We're a little sad that we beat it.
