The value story

It has never been cheaper than $9.89. That was March 2026. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 18 in the 2 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 30 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 66 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Apsulov: End of Gods ($19.99, scores 51) beats it on value, while it beats Remothered: Tormented Fathers ($19.99, scores 23).

13 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 269 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 8 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

While eternal stealth mechanics are "fun", the game falls incredibly short of any stimulating gameplay. Once you realize what actions matter and which ones don't, the game becomes very tedious and follows a formula hard. Also, the ending is just- blah. They forgot to write the story after the 1st 1/3rd of the game, and the rest is a slog. Absolutely not worth the price, but fun if you enjoy opening drawers slowly...

genuinely boring - im trying to grit my teeth through it but its just a emotional yap fest. the only relatable aspect of this game is a kids drawings - really wish there was more to this game than crawling cause there is a lot of potential in this IP but that potential is not realized in this game. this game is bad.

This game has its pros and its cons. I have enjoyed it though. This game is sort of slow, and you have to manage athsma attacks. If this kind of stuff isn't your thing, than i would not try this. I give this game an 8/10, you dont need a too beefy computer, but a laptop will not be enough. If this sounds like a good game, than pick it up on sale. It is $30.
