The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was May 2025. It has been discounted 30 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago. It becomes a BANGER at $7.44, a level the record has reached 21 times.

Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Gourdlets ($4.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Unpacking ($19.99, scores 67).

Critics scored it 72. Players sit 22 points higher at 94 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Of the 557 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 19 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 86 percent of the 684 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.
