The value story

December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $5.24. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 14 in the 3 years tracked, about 13 weeks apart. Today's $8.99 at 40 percent off still sits 72 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history. The math puts its BANGER price at $4.78. No recorded sale has reached it yet.

Take the discount away and it is a 63. With it, 73.

On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Reigns ($2.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Reigns: Her Majesty ($2.99, scores 63).

This site sampled 429 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 92 percent of the 457 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

1.4 hours to finish it, 6 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 4.0 times the campaign.

emncyRecommendedafter 4.0h1 found this helpfulRead on Steam
The Emily route is somehow even gayer than the route where Nicole literally dates a gay girl Edit: Nevermind, the author and 3rd game ruin this for me. You should watch the series on YouTube instead
