The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.24. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 13 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 about 13 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games closest to it, Meg's Monster ($10.49, scores 86) and Impostor Factory ($9.99, scores 84) both come in lower.

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $11.44. It costs $4.99.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 9 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 1.7-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 306 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2023 to August 2026.

The main story runs 1.7 hours. Doing everything runs 10, 5.9 times as long.

The drop-off

Steam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 1.7-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements
