The value story
The lowest price on record is $7.19, set in March 2025. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 9 in the 2 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
Value puts it in the top 16 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, POOLS ($9.79, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Anemoiapolis: Chapter 1 ($8.99, scores 48).
Of the 499 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 18 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,656 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 166 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 443 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 24 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 3.6 hours. Doing everything runs 15, 4.2 times as long.
