The value story

June 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $15.59. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 11 in the 2 years tracked, about 12 weeks apart. Today's $15.59 at 22 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition ($19.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Hyper Light Breaker ($29.99, scores 0).

This site sampled 399 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 3 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written October 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 179 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.

I don't think there's anything out there quite like this game. It is absolutely dripping in aesthetics, atmosphere and vibe. It looks and feels like some esoteric lost media clay mation. The world is rich and deep and you really don't know what to expect. Its equal parts whimsical and brutal - fairytale tropes that nearly feel familiar, but following a moral and artistic compass that is all its own. There's really...
