The value story
June 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. It has been discounted 16 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 67 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Until Dawn™ ($29.99, scores 40) beats it on value, while it beats The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me ($39.99, scores 3).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 9 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 34 percent of the 579 reviews written there were positive, against 62 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.
