The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in June 2015. 124 discounts in the 13 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 60 percent. Among the games that feel like it, CASE: Animatronics ($9.99, scores 54) beats it on value, while it beats We Happy Few ($59.99, scores 37).

The press gave it 63; the people who bought it give it 77 percent. A 14-point gap in the buyer's favour.

This site sampled 393 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 922 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 32 percent of everything written about it.
