The value story
It has never been cheaper than $6.99. That was September 2025. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 12 in the 2 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $12.99 at 35 percent off still sits 86 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history. It becomes a BANGER at $7.19, a level the record has reached once.
At full price it scores 67. The current cut is what makes it a 75.
On value it sits in the top 3 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including SILENT BREATH ($4.99, scores 17) and Hospital 666 ($5.19, scores 26).
None of the 375 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2024 to August 2026.
At 4 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

I thought it was going to be another basic horror game that solely relies on jump scares to spook you, and which you quickly play through over the weekend. Boy I was wrong. Without spoiling anything, let's just say this game scares...
Nội dung hay, có nút chạy. Cơ mà chuyển động nhảy hơi sida, và cái đoạn khu vườn sự thật 1 cho trốn dưới gầm bàn trong khi con ma què chân hơi hài
Jogo vietnamita de terror muitooo bom. Impressionantemente bem feito por um estúdio pequeno e que ainda é de uma região que não se costuma ver muitos jogos saindo, tem bastante coisa legal da cultura do país que nunca tinha visto. A parte que mais gostei foi a história, sem muita exposição desnecessária, só dando o contexto necessário pra temperar a jornada que o protagonista faz no seu "sonho lúcido". Jogo não é...
