The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.80. That was August 2024. It has been discounted 20 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $3.99 at 60 percent off still sits 399 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

This sale is doing real work. 20 at list, 24 today.

It is cheaper than 63 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 75 percent. Among the games that feel like it, My Friendly Neighborhood ($29.99, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats Supernatural ($8.99, scores 10).

2.1 hours to finish it, 14 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 6.5 times the campaign.

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

I got this on sale, and I gotta say...it's a LOT more fun than I was ever expecting. So much so, that I honestly feel bad about only playing $1.29 CAD for this. I'd even go so far as to say it's worth the full 12.99 price, but barely. So the gist of it is you're a kid who is looking for your brother that was kidnapped by these killer anthropomorphic baked goods. To defeat them you need to craft pies to throw at them...

This game was a bit of a disappointment, you don't even have to look at the recipes, you can just get 2-4 ingredients until you hear the noice of the creature apear and hide in the same spot every time until it disappears. It just becomes the same pattern over and over for every creature.
