The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.04, set in March 2026. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 56 in the 12 years tracked, about 9 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 23 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 71 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Gorogoa ($14.99, scores 72) and Old Man's Journey ($9.99, scores 55) both outscore it.

2 of the 314 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 632 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 70 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 1.4 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Short but sweet. The puzzles are simple enough that I imagine anybody would be able to solve. The game is also absolutely gorgeous to look at. Hard not to recommend, and the low price makes it almost certainly worth it.
