The value story

The lowest price on record is $29.99, set in November 2025. It has been discounted 9 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 14 weeks between sales. Today's $29.99 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

On value it sits in the top 36 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 78 percent. Among the games that feel like it, THRESHOLD ($4.99, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats The Casting of Frank Stone™ ($29.99, scores 6).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 4 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. 38 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2024 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 1,656 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 101 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 36 percent of the 332 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
