The value story
August 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. 53 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart.
Value puts it in the top 5 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Seen ($0.99, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats Black The Fall ($14.99, scores 40).
Critics scored it 76. Players sit 12 points higher at 88 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
None of the 362 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 224 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.
