What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.99. That was June 2026. 32 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 29 percent on value. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 85 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Dinkum ($19.99, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats Hokko Life ($19.99, scores 16).

This site sampled 437 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2023 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 680 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 65 percent of the 193 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

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
