The value story

October 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $3.59. 23 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today's $3.59 at 60 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

At full price it scores 72. The current cut is what makes it a 89.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Amanda the Adventurer 2 ($4.99, scores 63) and A Date in the Park (free, scores 69).

Steam's global achievement data puts 50 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 616 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 12 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 759 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

This game took me less than 3 hours to 100%, is INCREDIBLY tame and not scary at all, and worth $3 maximum. Has cool puzzles, but that's about it. I'm so glad i bought it while it was on sale. If you want to play this game, make sure you buy it when it's 90% off.
