The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.49, set in October 2024. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 20 in the 3 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart. Today's $2.49 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

At full price it scores 67. The current cut is what makes it a 79.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is cheaper than 63 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games closest to it, Garten of Banban 7 ($6.99, scores 56) and Garten of Banban 4 ($4.99, scores 46) both come in lower.

This site sampled 397 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 91 percent of the 945 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 86 percent of everything written about it.

At 1.1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Spooky and surreal. Like if Jack London and Lovecraft's contemporaries made a game narrative.

طريقة السرد الغامضه الي بدون ترتيب و معلومات مبهمه هي طريقه ما بقي احد ما سواها الطريقه المفضله عند راوين قصص كثير و ببعض الاوقات يتوفقون و تضبط معهم الطريقه و النتيجه تكون قصه قوية تحليلها ممتع و يحفز على التفكير و ببعض الاوقات الاخرى تكون زي اللعبه ذي, و تنتج خفيس حفيس خبيط خرطبيط مخلوط بدون اي سبب كويس, حسيت ان القصه كان يمدي سردها بطريقه اوضح و بنفس الوقت تحافظ على الغموض هذي برضه وحده من اول المرات الي اشوف...
