The value story

It has never been cheaper than $22.49. That was June 2025. 15 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 20 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 5 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 37 percent on value. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 76 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Haydee 2 ($24.99, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats Resident Evil 0 ($19.99, scores 49).

10 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 451 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
