The value story

April 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. It has been discounted 17 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today's $4.99 at 50 percent off still sits 151 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is cheaper than 65 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 62 percent. Among the games that feel like it, LISA: The Painful ($19.99, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats Hero Siege ($7.99, scores 19).

Of the 510 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 13 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2024 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 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 31 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 318 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 34 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 1.9 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 4, 2.3 times as much.

Another game i first watched through youtube from a couple different youtubers when i was younger. i decided to play it myself, see what's what. I honestly didn't think i'd get tense playing it, knowing where all of the scripted oni appearances were, but damn i was wrong, the little song that plays when you get chased got my crisped against my steam deck. the game itself is very short, so short in fact that in the...
