The value story
It has never been cheaper than $15.99. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 4 times in the 5 months tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $15.99 at 20 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Take the discount away and it is a 54. With it, 57.
Value puts it in the top 10 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. Among the games that feel like it, ABZU ($19.99, scores 58) beats it on value, while it beats City Game Studio: Your Game Dev Adventure Begins ($19.99, scores 56).
13 of the 444 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2026 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 540 have a larger share. In its first 30 days on sale, 9 of 103 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 112 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.
