The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.19. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 25 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today's $2.99 at 75 percent off still sits 151 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

This sale is doing real work. 65 at list, 81 today.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games closest to it, Streamer Life Simulator ($19.99, scores 37) and Emily Wants To Play ($4.99, scores 51) both come in lower.

This site sampled 372 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 737 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 89 percent of the 301 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 31 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

This game is really fun. I love how open the dev is with updates. I was in the content creator program but took time off from streaming until recently. And I still love to play this game. But the dev is great and is always listening to the game community. I love a good puzzle game and this is it for me

Promising game... However, it is BUGGY, especially in the menus. You get stuck in a menu with no way of exiting. Frequent DCs without ability to rejoin your friends (even though it's a private server). Not an acceptable state to play. Only payed $1.80 so I'm gonna give it a positive rating.
