Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, OpenGL 2.0 compatible with 512 MB dedicted RAM, 2 GB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS.

Colin’s apartment maze has puzzles, dialogues, and some dry humor waiting for you. A surreal adventure of a special kind.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $10.49. That was October 2025. Its cuts run 25 percent off as a rule. There have been 9 in the 2 years tracked, about 13 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago. The math puts its BANGER price at $5.60. No recorded sale has reached it yet.

Value puts it in the top 6 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Rusty Lake Hotel ($1.99, scores 96) beats it on value, while it beats The Dream Machine: Chapter 1 & 2 ($3.99, scores 63).

None of the 328 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2024 to August 2026.
