The value story
The lowest price on record is $14.99, set in September 2026. Its cuts run 33 percent off as a rule. There have been 12 in the 15 months tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
On value it sits in the top 14 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Animal Shelter: Prologue (free, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Animal Shelter ($19.99, scores 49).
Players rate it 81 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 73 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 541 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 128 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.
