The value story

December 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $19.99. It has been discounted 5 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 14 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago. No sale on record has reached $9.22, the price it would take to be a BANGER.

On value it sits in the top 9 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S: HELP WANTED ($29.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Emily Wants To Play ($4.99, scores 51).

34 of the 556 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2023 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 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 373 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 735 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

At 8.5 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

WAY BETTER THAN HW 1! I loved it! The visuals and litterally everything was great. Except the level of difficulty. ITS SUCH A GOSH DANG HARD GAME!
The Seventh SoulRecommendedafter 10hSep 2026Read on Steam
This game is insanely good, and a far cry from the original. All minigames seem much more interactable with redefined character animations for everyone, alongside additional lore. Stressful game mechanics make keeping composure insanely difficult, especially in the later game.
MiniwolffiRecommendedafter 6.1hSep 2026Read on Steam
Like the other one but theres more movement in the lobby, both are pretty good in my opinion. Would recommend for all fazfans
