How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$0.76/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead

MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way

From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in June 2026. In 3 months of price history it has never once been discounted.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 38 percent on value. It is cheaper than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 61 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Boneraiser Minions ($4.99, scores 85) beats it on value, while it beats Overture ($4.99, scores 40).

This site sampled 488 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 11 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written November 2023 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 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 65 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 799 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 62 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 1.3 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 4, 3.2 times as much.

I found this game to be occasionally fun, but also really annoying at times, with some questionable design decisions that keep it from being great. It's a Vampire Survivors clone with overt Slavik dialect peppered throughout. It's totally playable in English, but characters will constantly pop up and start talking to each other in some other dialect. While there's no way to know what they're saying, it has no...
