The value story
July 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $7.49. Its cuts run 35 percent off as a rule. There have been 15 in the 2 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $9.74 at 35 percent off still sits 30 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Take the discount away and it is a 77. With it, 85.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including 60 Seconds! ($8.99, scores 62) and Beholder 3 ($17.99, scores 12).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 14 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 10.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 356 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2024 to September 2026.

What players say
It's a really well done game in terms of writing, voice acting, and polish. The game is never punishing you for getting things wrong, it's all about learning. They establish that it's not meant to replace therapy or for you to apply this to your loved ones, it's meant to teach you cognitive distortions through extreme, vampiric examples. They can't show a character's entire process through therapy, but they do show...
pretty sure that this was the first visual novel i've played ever in 25 years of life. what possessed me to buy this thing, i dont know. but oh boy am i glad i did! pretty sure it isnt the best or most clever or whatever, but if nothing else - it's charming af
A disarmingly funny yet thoughtful game that always offers an interesting twist as each of its characters reveals their multifaceted selves. The interface isn't perfect, but the writing and voice acting are charming and rich.
