The value story

December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. It has been discounted 21 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $1.99 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Take the discount away and it is a 69. With it, 80.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is cheaper than 76 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Dollmare ($2.49, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats Platform 8 ($2.79, scores 62).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 7 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 1 of the 221 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2024 to August 2026.

The main story runs 1 hours. Doing everything runs 4, 3.9 times as long.
