The value story

It has never been cheaper than $3.74. That was April 2016. 106 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. It becomes a BANGER at $3.88, a level the record has reached 9 times.

On value it sits in the top 9 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Röki ($19.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden ($14.99, scores 57).

Of the 359 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 78 percent of the 251 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

A cozy novel set under the fantasy setting, with hints at magic and the existence of mana. There isn't enough room for much of character developments due to its length and the amount of appearing characters, but most of them are set in stone as they're just well for the reader to relate to at times and enjoy reading about. From what I've gathered in those three hours of reading as of late, it's a usual storytelling...
