The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.83, set in October 2024. Its cuts run 63 percent off as a rule. There have been 38 in the 4 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 17 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 92 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Father's Day ($6.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats Uncanny Tales: Cold Road ($2.99, scores 34).

This site sampled 628 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 22 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written January 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 234 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 2,468 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 91 percent of everything written about it.
