The value story

The lowest price on record is $8.79, set in October 2026. Its cuts run 21 percent off as a rule. There have been 15 in the 2 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $8.79 at 45 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

At full price it scores 33. The current cut is what makes it a 38.

On value it sits in the top 32 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Sherlock Holmes The Awakened ($39.99, scores 42) beats it on value, while it beats The Casting of Frank Stone™ ($29.99, scores 6).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 9 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 7.4-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 399 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 201 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

Steam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 7.4-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements

What players say

I really liked this game, but I also have to caveat that it's not the smoothest to play. I love quirky sim games like this - strange horticulture/antiquities, trash goblin, restory, etc. - and when there's a lovecraftian elements, even better. This game has all the potential to be great - but it falls short in a few areas. 1. The instructions for how to use the diagnostic tools are INCREDIBLY confusing. The humor...

Fun game. The art is very nice, and gameplay is a nice kind of repetitive (though I can see some people not liking that). I've had a lot of fun with it so far and I do recommend it, though I feel my complaints over it are more helpful than any generic praise I could give. I feel the tutorials for a few items were a bit confusing, the humor wheel especially which I've yet to get a hang on, and trial and error with...

Sadly repetitive. Story never catches up, and mechanics are boring. Really would like to love it.
