The value story
February 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. 26 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
It is cheaper than 64 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Ziggurat ($14.99, scores 61) beats it on value, while it beats We Are The Dwarves ($14.99, scores 21).
6 of the 433 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 74 percent of the 134 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.
